Traffic & operations history

Traffic is not availability. Capacity is not occupancy. A reservation flag is not a live berth. EMODnet density is historical context. Forecast is deferred.

Current traffic

AIS_NOT_CONFIGUREDUNKNOWN

AIS is not configured. Approach counts are not invented.

UNKNOWN because: AIS_NOT_CONFIGURED — congestion is not inferred from compiled peak labels.

Declared capacity

220 compiled class berths · Class counts are not physical HarborBerth rows and not current availability.

Observed occupancy

INSUFFICIENT_DATA. No percentage is shown because coverage does not support it.

Seasonality

HIGH December–April; hurricane prep in late summer

Forecast DEFERRED. Insufficient observed history, no backtest, no baseline comparison. Forecast deferred is a successful outcome.
