HOW TO READ THE DASHBOARD
Dated data, not a queue forecast
The daily report describes completed boardings. Access conditions, timetables, availability and waiting times can change after publication.
- Check the ferry operator and port before travelling.
- The report date matters as much as the figure.
- Gibraltar Watch preserves the previous valid data if the source is unavailable.
