Loading published port calls…
Vessel port calls per day derived from satellite vessel signals. Down 25% vs baseline = watch, 50% = disrupted, flagged only when the drop is statistically significant. The newest days can be revised upward, so confirm a drop over two updates.

Map blank or showing an access message? Some networks block the live map.
Live AIS positions, refreshed continuously. Click a ship for its name, type, speed and destination. Coverage depends on shore receivers, so ships far offshore may be missing and some vessels switch transmitters off; treat gaps as no signal, not no traffic.
Cards: AIS-derived daily transit-call counts, not customs-verified cargo. Observation dates may lag and be revised. Headline pressure is a separate signal.
Sovereign Observatory
Access for governments, sovereign funds, family offices and research institutions. Eight instruments — Command, Country Dossier, Shock Propagation, Narrative Radar, Inter-Capital comparison, Ports & Chokepoints, the Renewable Energy Atlas and the Sovereign Memo — read one country state and one scenario at once. Every figure traces to a published register, measured data, documented geography or attributed reporting.
Sign in and choose an access option below.
- Military capacity (0-100)
- Where the country sits in a published annual ranking of armed-forces strength (personnel, aircraft, armour, naval fleet, logistics), rescaled among Arab states: 100 = strongest in the region, 0 = weakest. Use it to gauge security weight and defence-market size.
- Media industry base (0-100)
- Documented production infrastructure: film/TV sound stages, media free zones and headquarters of pan-Arab news networks, equally weighted and scaled so the regional leader = 100. Blank means no documented facilities, not zero activity. Use it to choose production, broadcast and partnership locations.
