The IMO is the one the ship broadcasts over AIS, a listing may postdate the sighting, and a sighting includes anchorages and canal or strait queues, so it is not proof of a port call. Open a vessel for its full screening record.

Regional Risk Context — Mediterranean Sea

Between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026, ArcNautical's AIS feed observed 138 distinct vessels at Port Said, with Tanker making up 53% of those with a ship-type code — higher than the Mediterranean Sea regional average of 20%. Port Said in Egypt operates in a semi-enclosed basin that carries approximately 20% of global seaborne trade. The Suez Canal is the single most critical chokepoint for Mediterranean-bound shipping, and disruptions there — from groundings, Houthi-driven diversions, or political shocks — force vessels onto the Cape of Good Hope routing, adding 10–14 days and substantial fuel cost. Libya's ongoing instability creates an active maritime security concern in the central Mediterranean, with oil terminals periodically subject to militia control. PSC under the Paris MOU is among the most rigorous globally; vessels with deficiencies face detention rates well above the global average at Mediterranean ports.

Port State Control Context

Port Said falls under the Mediterranean MoU. The Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding does not publish a public bulk detention feed. Member states (Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia) operate under harmonised PSC protocols. Vessel-level detention probability is computed by ArcNautical using flag-state performance and on-board condition signals.
