How this list is made

A ship is listed by the kind she broadcasts. While she is on the map she is listed first, longest first; after that come the cargo ships heard in the last year, A to Z, each with when and where she was last heard.

A ship leaves the map 3 hours after her last report if she was moving, 6 if she was stopped, and her page stays. Read Why a ship disappears.
