eeSea Trade Capacity Index

Global supply chains are heavily impacted by vessel supply & cargo demand - blank sailings, delays, freight rates, they’re all connected.

eeSea has the supply side covered for you. Our Trade Capacity Index tracks the actual deployed vessel capacity in all trade lanes, into all ports.

Making the Data work for you.

eeSea’s trade capacity data is compiled at the port call level, which allows us to aggregate up to any desired category: trade lane, alliance, service, vessel, port, country, or anything in between.
