Of the 1 that filled: 1 provably left vehicles behind. The split is broken down under “How the 5 went.”
How the 5 went
- Space the whole time 4 · 80%
- Ran out of room 1 · 20%
- Left vehicles behind 1 camera · line
- Cancelled 0 · 0%
From terminal camera frames, which count vehicles waiting outside the terminal.
Not enough exact matches, so the search was widened to all seasons; then widened to +/-60 min; then widened to include days outside a long weekend, which behave differently.
38 sailing(s) had no usable record and are excluded.

The outcome is about the vessel — whether it ran out of room, which the board can see and no camera can. “Left behind” is about the approach road, which only a camera residual or somebody in the line can see; “no one has said” means neither did, which is not the same as no. Peak is how full the compound got; older sailings show a vehicle count, and a “+” there means the queue ran past the edge of the camera frame.
