Estimate

Busy-time intelligence

August: no dedicated climatology window — using harbour baseline. VERY_HIGH during ARC arrival; HIGH winter ARC week is a different operational regime. Do not use winter-average occupancy. This is an estimate derived from declared inventory and seasonal demand, not a live sensor count or a passenger-style headcount.
