A port page carries two live sections: "Vessels currently in port" — ships moored or at anchor on AIS, and "Vessels on approach" — ships broadcasting this port as their destination with an ETA in the next 14 days. The first answers "who is there now", the second "who is coming".
How to open a port page
- Open the Ports Map.
- Click Find a port — on desktop it is the second icon (a pin) in the left tool rail; on a phone it sits under the More button in the bottom bar.
- Type the port name or its UN/LOCODE and pick the port from the suggestions. Or simply tap the port marker on the map.
- In the panel that opens, click Open full port page.
The address is built from the port code: rynda.io/ports/NLRTM-rotterdam. If you know the UN/LOCODE, rynda.io/ports/NLRTM opens the same port.
Who is in port right now
"Vessels currently in port" lists ships moored or at anchor whose last AIS position is no older than 3 days. The header shows the vessel count and a breakdown by type; on the right, a green "updated …" badge — the section refreshes on its own, no page reload needed.
The table gives vessel, type, size (LOA × beam), tonnage, draught and time in port. The vessel name links to its own page.
Sign in and a workspace bar appears above the table:
- status chips — All, moored, at anchor, under way, each with a count;
- vessel-type chips — tankers, bulkers, container ships and whatever else is alongside;
- search by name, IMO or MMSI;
- sorting — Largest first, Longest in port, Name A–Z;
- a Showing N of M line and a button that clears the filters.
Which vessels are heading to the port
"Vessels on approach" collects ships whose AIS destination matches this port and whose ETA falls within the next 14 days. They are sorted by the closest ETA; the table gives vessel, type, ETA and destination as broadcast.
Treat it as an indication, not a confirmed berthing schedule: destination and ETA are broadcast by the vessel herself and change during a voyage. The list answers "who is steering for this port"; the agent confirms the actual approach window.
An empty section means nobody is currently declaring this port. A vessel joins the list automatically as soon as she sets it as her AIS destination.

How to watch a port without keeping the page open
Add the ship to My Fleet and switch on alerts: port arrival and port departure work on the free plan, while arrival approaching, ETA change and destination change run on PRO and ENTERPRISE. Delivery by email and Telegram.
"In port" is the present, "on approach" is the declared future, port call history is the recorded past. Together they cover any port.
