Shipment Tracking

Track shipments live on a 3D globe, with vessel positions, port activity, weather, and voyage history.

Where to Find It

Navigate to Reports and open the Shipments tab.

The Globe

Shipments are drawn on an interactive globe. Drag to rotate, scroll to zoom, and use the tilt control to switch between an overhead and an angled view.

Layers

Toggle layers on and off from the panel on the right:

Layer	Shows
Ocean Depth	Seafloor relief - shelves, ridges, and abyssal plains
Graticule	Latitude and longitude reference grid
Routes	Voyage tracks, split into covered and remaining
Direction Arrows	Chevrons showing which way each shipment travels
Vessels	Current position of each shipment
Ports	Port nodes, clustered when zoomed out
Port Volume	3D columns sized by shipments through each port
Dwell Alerts	Rings where containers sat for more than 5 days
Vessel History	Reported position history of the selected vessel
Congestion	Density of reported milestone events
Day / Night	Live solar terminator overlay

Turn most layers off when you are looking for one thing. Routes plus Vessels alone is the clearest way to answer "where is this shipment".

Finding a Shipment

Use the search box to jump straight to a shipment, vessel, or port.

Shipment Details

Select a vessel to open its detail panel:

Dates

Requested - the delivery date originally asked for
Expected - the current expected date
Carrier ETA - the carrier's own estimate
Arrived / Delivered - actuals once they happen

Vessel and Route

Carrier and Call Sign
Seller
Ships From and Ships To

Weather

Current conditions along the route, including air temperature, rainfall, and snowfall.

Vessel View

Click Vessel View to fly down to sea level on the selected vessel. Click Leave Vessel View to return to the route overview.

Replay

Use the scrubber along the bottom of the globe to replay shipment movement over time, so you can see how a delay developed rather than only where things stand now.

Stale Tracking

If a shipment's tracking has not refreshed in over a day, the panel flags it.

Stale tracking means the position shown is old, not that the shipment has stopped. Confirm with the carrier before acting on it.

Dwell Alerts

Rings mark ports where containers have sat for more than five days. These are the places to look first when investigating a late delivery.
