Vessel Arrival: Usage of “ETB” instead of “ETA”
Vessel Arrival: Usage of “ETB” instead of “ETA”
In our latest update, we will be using “Estimated Time of Berth (ETB)” instead of “Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA)” for all vessel arrivals.
Why This Change?
Vessel ETA is commonly used to denote the date and time at which a ship is expected to arrive at the port, while ETB is used to denote the date and time at which a ship is expected to berth at the port. As such, ETB is a more accurate date/time of arrival for planning purposes.
