Ferry Punctuality Data

[leonie13]

I was wondering whether there was any way to see historic punctuality data for ferries? Specifically the Harwich-Hoek Van Holland sailings?

I know it's easy to do with airlines (FlightRadar24) and railways, but is there anything for sailings?

I am hoping to do a Friday overnight crossing - booked to arrive at 08:00 - then dash across to a local Parkrun for a 09:00 start time 18km away.

A risky plan, but I'm hoping the timetable affords enough slack and perhaps the sailings always arrive a little earlier than timetabled.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice

I asked this a few years ago, the consensus was they were very reliable, with a caveat around bad weather. When I used it the ship was already tied up when I woke up, which was well before scheduled arrival. We were on the metro by 745

Have used this Stena ferry many times during a gale, even Storm Darragh a few weeks ago.Has never let me down.

I think the Hoek Van Holland sailing is pretty reliable, but, in any case, you can look at any free Marine AIS tracker while you're on the boat (or while other sailings are underway) to check locations and try and work out distances from ports at different times etc..
For example, VesselFinder is great for this.

IME punctual, but the best I've managed is being on the train (as was) 20min from booked arrival. Depends how big the scrum to disembark is
