QuantCube has launched Port Congestion Indicators, giving hedge funds, asset managers and investment banks guide investment on port congestion ahead of the market and give early signals about problems in global supply chains.
Real-time economic intelligence provider, QuantCube Technology, has added three new real-time economic indicators to the QuantCube Macroeconomic Intelligence Platform – tracking congestion in three of the biggest ports in the world: Shanghai, Los Angeles/Long Beach and Rotterdam.
QuantCube combines real-time geolocation of the merchant fleet using AIS data with its own proprietary mapping of the anchorage zones to measure the number of vessels in anchorage waiting for a berth in these ports, as well as the average time spent by these vessels in the anchorage zones before berthing. The indicators are updated daily and calculated as a seven-day average to even out any difference in activity levels over weekends.
