The problem it solves
When a region goes unstable, ports and airports change status fast. A seaport accepting cargo this morning can be closed by afternoon; a carrier can suspend a service or divert a vessel with a few hours' notice; the Strait of Hormuz — the gateway for a huge share of Gulf trade — can go from open to restricted overnight. For a freight forwarder, acting on stale information is costly: a container booked to a port that just shut, a vessel routed through a closed strait, a delivery date that was never achievable.
The information exists but it is scattered across carrier advisories, maritime bulletins, aviation notices, and news wires, and it changes by the hour. Nobody has time to check all of those sources every two hours for every facility on their route map, so decisions get made on yesterday's picture.
What it does
Port Watch does the watching for you. You tell it which facilities matter, and it sends a clear status report on a schedule you choose — by default every two hours.
- For every facility on your watchlist: whether it is operational, degraded, restricted, or closed; whether it is still accepting bookings; and which carriers are operating, suspended, limited, or diverting there.
- Strait of Hormuz reported on its own in every update.
- Every claim is sourced — each status links back to the document it came from (carrier update, maritime advisory, aviation notice, news report) with the publish date. A sources page lists every citation so you can verify before you act.
- A panel highlighting only the facilities whose status or booking situation changed since your previous report — so you see the changes first.
- Key developments from the last several hours, each with its source, plus a plain-language recommendation for forwarders.
- Choose how often you receive reports: every 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12 hours, or once a day.
- Self-service watchlist management — add or remove facilities, change frequency, or unsubscribe in one click.
- Coverage across major GCC and surrounding seaports and airports: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Iraq. Add any other facility by name.
Who it's for
- Freight forwarders and logistics planners routing cargo through the Gulf who need to know which facilities are usable right now.
- Shipping and operations teams deciding whether to book, hold, or divert against live conditions.
- Anyone whose shipments touch the Strait of Hormuz and cannot afford to act on a status that is hours out of date.

Works with
Port Watch is the GCC sea and air-gateway counterpart to LogiAstro in the GCC-LOGI offering: Port Watch answers whether a port or airport is usable today; LogiAstro answers whether the cities and routes your network depends on are under threat. Together they cover a shipment from the gateway to the warehouse. The two are separate products with no shared database.
Active product, deployable. Web sign-up and self-service site with reports delivered by email on a configurable schedule. No separate mobile app. Built by Summerhill Technologies for the disruption environment around the Strait of Hormuz.
