Skypace reconciles carrier, terminal and AIS observations and stores each signal with its source and time. Arrival, anchorage, berth and departure states remain separate. A material schedule change is connected to the next accountable operating action.
Every milestone with its source and its time
The tracker shows each milestone as carrier-reported, terminal-observed or AIS-observed, with the time it was recorded.
Gate-in, loading, departure, transshipment, arrival and discharge appear in sequence. Each one carries the source that produced it. Arrival, anchorage, berth and departure are separate states and are never merged into one. Milestones that have not yet been observed are marked as expected, not as done. The operator confirms a milestone by hand only when the carrier and terminal disagree.
Published departures beside observed departures
The vessel schedule shows the carrier's published rotation next to the departures and arrivals actually observed from AIS and terminal data.
For each port call the published ETD and ETA sit beside the observed ATD and ATA. The difference is calculated and shown in days. The shipper sees where the voyage is running behind before the carrier updates its schedule. Bookings on that vessel are listed under the voyage, so one late port call is read against the shipments it affects.
A delay recorded, attributed and assigned
A delay is written to the shipment with its source and cause, and becomes an action for the Skypace operator responsible for the booking.
The system compares the observed vessel position with the planned schedule and raises a delay when the gap crosses the threshold set for the account. The record shows the original ETA, the revised ETA, the port where the delay occurred and the evidence used. The operator confirms the cause, notifies the receiving site and records the next step. The shipper's team sees who owns the delay and what has been done.
A rolled booking turned into a rebooking step
When the carrier rolls the booking, the alert, the alternative sailing and the rebooking are handled on the same shipment record.
The carrier's roll notice is matched to the booking and raised as an alert with the original vessel, the new vessel offered and the change in arrival date. The operator checks the alternative against the contract terms, confirms the price and submits the rebooking. The shipper reads the alert, the decision and the new sailing in one place, with the free-time clock recalculated for the new arrival.


A manufacturer plans production against inbound timing. A retailer plans inventory and receiving windows. An EPC project plans site work against material arrival. Sea-Intelligence reported global schedule reliability of 62.6% in June 2026 and an average 5.31-day delay for late vessel arrivals. Because the market average does not identify which bookings are exposed, Skypace measures the carrier promise against the physical and milestone evidence on the shipment record.
