Regional Risk Context — South Atlantic

Ushuaia in Argentina connects the major commodity exporters of West Africa and South America with global markets, carrying crude oil, iron ore, soybeans, coal, and containerised goods. The Gulf of Guinea has surpassed the Gulf of Aden as the world's most active piracy zone, accounting for the majority of global incidents and the vast majority of crew kidnappings. Unlike Somali piracy's hijacking-for-ransom model, Gulf of Guinea attacks typically aim at kidnap-for-ransom, cargo theft, and oil theft from tankers. The diversion of container traffic around the Cape of Good Hope due to Red Sea security threats has increased congestion at South Atlantic bunkering ports and along the South African coast.

Sea Distances

Routed sea distances from Ushuaia to the principal global hubs, computed by ArcNautical's routing engine — around land and through the canals a ship actually uses, not great-circle.

Port State Control Context

Argentina is a multi-MoU jurisdiction (its port states participate in more than one regional PSC programme). Vessel-level detention probability for calls at Ushuaia is computed by ArcNautical's scoring engine using flag performance, vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership opacity rather than a regional aggregate.

Vessel Mix

Limited port-call data — fewer than 10 distinct vessels observed at Ushuaia between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026. ArcNautical does not publish a vessel-type breakdown for low-traffic ports to avoid statistically misleading percentages. The feed has delivered no positions since 5 Aug 2026, so these figures will not change until it resumes.
