Some upstream sources have their own licensing — see the sources pagefor attribution. For example, port coordinates and UN/LOCODEs originate from public UNECE data; flag-state Paris/Tokyo MoU ratings from those organisations' public lists.
Each dataset's schema is documented inline in lib/schemas.ts using Zod. Field names are stable; new fields may be added (always documented in /changelog) but existing fields are not renamed without notice.
