Regional Risk Context — Pacific Ocean

Voyages from Wenzhou in China cross the world's largest ocean basin, where route optimisation and weather routing have significant financial implications — a single transpacific crossing can consume hundreds of tonnes of fuel, and a one-knot speed variation over a 12-day voyage materially affects both cost and schedule. The western Pacific generates more tropical cyclones than any other basin (≈26 named storms annually), with typhoon season June–November producing winds above 150 knots and waves exceeding 15 metres. North Korea sanctions enforcement is a significant compliance concern: UN Security Council resolutions prohibit ship-to-ship transfers to DPRK vessels, and dark-activity (AIS disablement) is a common evasion signal in the East China Sea and Yellow Sea.

Sea Distances

Routed sea distances from Wenzhou 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

Wenzhou falls under the Tokyo MoU. The Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding (Asia-Pacific) maintains the most active publicly-available regional PSC programme. Across the last 24 months, the Tokyo MoU detention dataset records 5,577 distinct vessel detentions (sourced from OpenSanctions, as of 2026-10-04). Vessel-level detention probability is computed by ArcNautical using flag performance, vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership opacity.

Vessel Mix

No port calls were observed at Wenzhou between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026. This reflects the reach of the terrestrial AIS network behind this page — coverage is densest in Northwest Europe and thins elsewhere — and is not a statement about traffic at Wenzhou. The feed has delivered no positions since 5 Aug 2026, so these figures will not change until it resumes.
