Get an ETA, See Container Events, Get Container Location
How to get a container ETA ?
Shipment ETA (using CT, BL or BK reference) can be found in the Route json object in the date field:
Find POD location (Port of Discharge)
The date field indicates the arrival of the container at the port : the date can be Estimated (if the actual field is set to false) or Actual (if the actual field is set to true).
This data comes directly from the shipping line.
The PredictiveETA field is completed when the container is within 3 days of its arrival at POD. This data is calculation by Sinay's system based on historical AIS data, live port congestion and weather data. This data can be used to double check the shipping line's ETA's accuracy.

Where can I see container events ?
Container events are listed in the Container json object associated to key locations (prepol, pol, pod, postpod or any transhipment port).
Event data is contained in the following fields:
| Field name | sample data | info |
|---|---|---|
| description | Gate out | |
| eventType | EQUIPMENT | |
| eventCode | GTOT | |
| status | CEP | |
| date | 2023-11-07T11:16:00Z | |
| actual | true |
