World Port Index geography: US Government WPI, via the MIT-licensed Maritime Bridge source catalogue. Where verified, Wikimedia Commons photographs are credited by author, licence and source. All other vessel or port illustrations are explicitly labelled. There is no invented live charter, supplier bunker price or harbour-specific photographic evidence.

Port profiles may contain modelling scenarios; these are planning estimates rather than historical measured local market rates.
