Of the 4 that filled: 4 provably left vehicles behind. The split is broken down under “How the 5 went.”

How the 5 went

  • Space the whole time 1 · 20%
  • Ran out of room 4 · 80%
  • Left vehicles behind 4 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.

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.
