This article describes the milestones that indicate the estimated time to arrival of containers to the destination port
Within the JSON payload, the ETA, or estimated time to arrival, to the destination port will be listed as an individual milestone within the list of milestones.
Vessel arrived at destination port represents the ETA of the vessel to the destination port when planned is set to true. This same milestone will then represent the ATA (actual time of arrival) when planned is set to false.
See below for a sanitized example of this estimated milestone:

Some carriers will report an event for ETA and some do not. If a carrier does not report the ETA, Vizion will use other sources to find an ETA and provide the event. Depending on the information available, the vessel and location information may not be present.
