🚢 Global Maritime Traffic & Supply Chain Intelligence Actor

Real-time IMF/UN PortWatch satellite transits, AIS fleet telemetry, 2026 UK naval security attack ledgers (UKMTO, Ambrey London, MAIB, Lloyd's JWC), global commercial IMO vessel registries, and marine bunker freight rerouting simulations.

🌟 What Does This Actor Do?

This actor extracts, aggregates, and computes institutional-grade intelligence across the global maritime supply chain:

1. Strategic Chokepoints Satellite Telemetry (PortWatch UN/IMF):
   • Annual transit volumes, deadweight capacity, vessel breakdown (Container, Crude Tanker, Bulk Carrier, General Cargo, Ro-Ro).
   • Dominant cargo streams, geopolitical risk rankings, and Lloyd's Joint War Committee (JWC) listed area classifications.
2. 180-Day Daily Transit Time Series & Disruption Diagnostics:
   • Day-over-day vessel counts and capacity series.
   • Algorithmic 30-day disruption diagnostic metrics detecting supply chain contraction or expansion.
3. Live AIS Transiting Fleet Radar:
   • Active vessels underway in strategic waterways with speed, GPS coordinates, flag, reported cargo manifest, and MMSI identifiers.
4. 2026 Maritime Security & UK Naval Threat Ledger:
   • Documented 2026 attacks, ballistic missiles, explosive USV boats, and armed boardings with official references from UKMTO (UK Royal Navy), Ambrey Intelligence London, UK MAIB, and Lloyd's JWC War Risk Ratings (JWLA).
5. Global Commercial Fleet Registry & Ownership Directory (IMO/ITU/Equasis):
   • Technical specifications, engine models, fuel grades, service speed, daily fuel consumption (MT/day), commercial operator, beneficial owner, P&I Club, and War Risk routing statuses.
6. Marine Bunker Futures & Geopolitical Rerouting Freight Modeler:
   • Live Brent crude benchmark (BZ=F) and 5-Hub bunker price matrix (Singapore, Rotterdam, Gibraltar, Balboa, Houston) across VLSFO & MGO with forward curves.
   • Rerouting simulation calculating extra nautical miles, days at sea, fuel burned, and per-voyage/fleet cost shocks when diverting around Africa or South America.
