- Commodity desks tracking African copper and cobalt routes
- Worth noticing
- The page says route delays sum extra hours across each crossing, while coverage indicates how many crossing sides reported.
Field notes
Delay figures are grouped only when reports share a crossing, side, direction, and cargo type. A weekly median from the prior 30 days becomes the comparison baseline after a week of reporting; earlier baselines are marked estimated. Confidence is high when at least two reporters agree, medium for one first-hand report, and low for disagreement or second-hand accounts. The page also distinguishes desk-logged risk events from areas where an external feed is not yet licensed.
