Changelog
What has changed, month by month. Kept short and honest — improvements and the numbers behind them, not internal noise.
September 2026
- Next-port accuracy raised to 77.9% events-weighted (from around 76%), through new prediction layers that use the declared destination and the origin port together, learn aliases for messy declarations, and weight recent history more heavily.
- Port View: each arrival now shows an expected stay duration and a departure window, not just an arrival time.
- A historical accuracy figure is now shown in the app alongside the live-scored one, so a model improvement is visible immediately rather than after weeks of new predictions resolving.
- Port View layout reworked for readability — fewer columns, each carrying one idea.
August 2026
- The Port View launched — a live arrivals list for any of roughly 460 ports, each vessel with its load state, likely need, contact and onward move.
- Distances across fuel, ETA and the map switched to real sea routes, following shipping-lane density, replacing straight-line estimates with a flat mark-up. This corrected a systematic over-statement on many Baltic–North-Sea legs.
- Second- and third-port-ahead prediction rebuilt to return a ranked top-three, which covers roughly half of second-port calls.
- Arrival and stay estimates made load-aware — a laden vessel sails slower and stays longer, and the timing now reflects that.
- Back-testing moved to the server, making per-vessel history and accuracy views fast.
Earlier in 2026
- The fuel and cost model was calibrated against a real reported consumption figure, replacing an assumed value that ran high.
- Contact and technical enrichment added, using grounded web search that returns cited candidates for a human to confirm.
- Port-name normalisation and declared-destination parsing overhauled, recovering a large amount of previously unmatched history.
