Method

Fleet figures come from our ship records (year built and gross tonnage present for every ship).
Port visits are detected from AIS positions inside a port's radius; the busiest list counts visits, not ships.
Fares are catalogue fares per night for in-stock sailings; no discounts are applied or estimated.
Price movements compare the first and the latest fare logged in the last 30 days for each sailing.
