Declared destinations are typed in by the crew, so they can be abbreviated port codes (such as AEFJR for Fujairah), out of date or wrong. During the crisis some crews also use the field for messages: see where ships say they are going. A flag shows where a ship is registered, not who owns it.

When a ship reappears on the other side of the counting line after an AIS gap of more than 72 hours, we did not see it cross, so that crossing is listed but not counted in our daily totals.

Rows marked "est." were reconstructed with an earlier tracking method rather than detected live.
