Dataset card

Type: not stated
Format: Tabular (structured time-series port/vessel metrics)
Volume: Low-tens of published port/chokepoint profiles so far (e.g. Hai Phong, Cai Mep), each carrying ~10 years of structured throughput/vessel-call history — likely low thousands of structured data points currently public, growing as more ports are added pre-launch.
Users: N/A — product is pre-launch (waitlist-stage as of site content), no public registered trader count exists yet.
History: 10 years
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active (pre-launch) — actively publishing new port profile content and building out API/SDK documentation (Python/TypeScript SDKs, Go SDK 'coming Q3 2025') ahead of app launch.
Launched: ~2025 (RootData lists Ballast Markets as a 2025-founded project; site itself is still pre-launch/waitlist stage)
