Declared destinations are typed in by the crew, so they can be abbreviated port codes (such as AEFJR for Fujairah), out of date or wrong. During the crisis some crews also use the field for messages: see where ships say they are going. A flag shows where a ship is registered, not who owns it.

This ship was already stationary when our waiting-time tracking began on 19 October 2026, so its real wait is probably longer. Not every stationary ship is stranded: some are loading, discharging or refuelling.
