      It compares the day with a typical Whittier day with ships. Quiet is under half of that, Light 50–85%, Typical 85–115%, Busy 115–150% and Peak more than one and a half times. Each port is compared with itself, so a Busy day in a small port has far fewer people than one in a big homeport.

      Most ships in Whittier are on turnaround: one cruise ends and the next one boards on the same day. Terminals, roads and parking are busiest on those days.
