The following terms are defined below specific to the maritime industry:
Actual Arrival Time (ATA)
…this is the moment when a ship or ship actually arrives at the dock.
Example: The arrival time may be close to the scheduled time or very different.
Impact: If a ship arrives early or late, it will cause a port congestion problem. The ports are already crowded, so the closer the ATA is to the ETA, the better.

…this is the time when a ship or vessel is expected to arrive at a specific destination. This also makes it possible to know the expected duration of a ship's route. The goal is to always be informed of the progress of an ocean-going sailboat.
Example: A ship departing from Los Angeles will have a scheduled time when it is expected to arrive in Rotterdam. Knowing an accurate ETA allows port authorities to prepare for the ship’s arrival.
Impact: An accurate ETA can make entire supply chains more efficient and reliable, affecting stakeholders around the world.
