Table explanation
This table contains the number of passengers (excluding crew members) arriving by ferry on Saba from Sint Maarten and Sint Eustatius. The figures published here are entirely based on available registers, i.e. the accuracy of these figures depends on the quality of the registers and Statistics Netherlands has conducted numerous plausibility checks on these registers, for example by establishing mutual links among these registers.
