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.
