International history milestones
Passenger milestones use complete calendar years only; a missing month stays missing and the partial current year cannot set the historical peak. Current breadth uses the global passenger window 2025-07 to 2026-06. Recorded Australian ports describe passenger records, not necessarily nonstop current services.
