Declared destinations are typed in by the crew, so they can be abbreviated port codes (such as AEFJR for Fujairah), out of date or wrong. We read this one as a broadcast message (crew or owner nationality broadcast) rather than a port: see what ships are broadcasting. A flag shows where a ship is registered, not who owns it.
Waiting time is counted from when the ship stopped (below 1 knot); tracking began on 19 October 2026. Not every stationary ship is stranded: some are loading, discharging or refuelling.
