Melvin Price traffic questions

How often does the lock feed update?

The source reports an approximately 15-minute operational cadence. The page also displays freshness so an old observation is not presented as current.

Can I see exact vessel names?

The full Melvin Price dashboard includes AIS map context, but the authoritative LPMS queue record used here does not provide individual queued tow names.
