5 comparable sailings

The board reported on 5 of the 5; camera frames or line reports sharpened 4 of those.

How the 5 went
- Space the whole time 0 · 0%
- Ran out of room 5 · 100%
- Left vehicles behind 4 camera · line
- No one has said 1 board only
- Cancelled 0 · 0%
“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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 2026-08-27 | 11:45 | filled up | yes | 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.
