Effort by port
The effort variable is Days at sea (DAS) and is a crude metric. Only integer values and rounded up to the nearest whole day. It is the length of the trip.
After aggregating the top ports based on the decisions found in this section {#sel} and combining all remaining ports into an “other fleet” we can look at the total effort by fleet in units: days at sea
