Anchorage wait before berthing

tt001.us-gateways.anchor-wait observed

Mean completed time at anchor per day for merchant vessels at the monitored US container gateways. Same 70-79 / 150 m filter as the other TT-001 series.

We pulled this number.

STATUS: WITHDRAWN · SINCE 1970-01 · RETURNS WHEN THE CONDITION BELOW IS MET

SUPERSEDED. Computed from the crew-set NavigationalStatus field and the old event state machine, both disproven 2026-07-30: the status field recorded 153 anchor events against 3,273 berth events because crews rarely set it, and the state machine split single calls into fragments on speed noise. Replaced by position-based detection in berthing.db — see tt001.gateway.* and berthing/METHOD.md. We will not serve data we cannot stand behind, so this page stays up but the numbers do not.
