Those arrivals are what crews broadcast over AIS, so treat them as expected times rather than a published arrival or departure schedule. If you are following a shipping container rather than a ship, note that AIS tracks the vessel, not the box. The guide to tracking cargo ships explains how to bridge the two using the vessel name on your bill of lading.
