How These Figures Are Calculated
Port calls come from the loading and discharge dates of containers on MSC ISTANBUL that are tracked on ShipsGo; the dates are reported by the carriers and are not a live vessel position. Upcoming calls are the carriers' estimates for those containers. Routes and carriers come from containers that started being tracked between 21 April 2026 and 21 October 2026 and have since been discharged; a route is shown only when enough containers were tracked on it, and volumes are shown as shares rather than counts. Vessel particulars as of 21 October 2026. Figures updated 21 October 2026.
