5 comparable sailings
Of the 2 that filled: 1 filled and still took everyone — the tightest kind of success — and for 1 nobody has said either way. The split is broken down under “How the 5 went.”
The board reported on 5 of the 5; camera frames or line reports sharpened 4 of those.
Arrive before
How the 5 went
- Space the whole time 3 · 60%
- Ran out of room 2 · 40%
- Took everyone anyway 1 board + line
- No one has said 1 board only
- Cancelled 0 · 0%
“Took everyone anyway” is the board’s capacity notice resolved by someone who was in the line — the margin nobody can otherwise see.
“No one has said” means the vessel was seen to run out of room and nobody has reported whether that cost anyone their crossing. One report from that line settles it.
More than one kind of evidence — camera frames, the board, or first-hand reports.
19 sailing(s) had no usable record and are excluded.

| Date | Time | Outcome | Left behind | Peak |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-03 | 16:55 | made it | no | heavy |
| 2026-09-02 | 16:55 | made it | no | heavy |
| 2026-09-01 | 16:55 | made it | no | heavy |
| 2026-08-31 | 16:55 | filled up | no | heavy |
| 2026-08-27 | 16:55 | filled up | no one has said | overflowing |
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.
