A price is what people here are paying to take that side. It is not a forecast and not an official figure. The count for a week is published a few days after the week ends, so these markets settle after their window closes.
The passage
- Narrowest clear water
- 30km
- Widest lane that fits between the shores
- Corridor
- 95km
- Length of the lane this page describes
- Counted at
- 34°08′N 129°13′E
These distances are worked out from the shape of the passage itself, not quoted from a reference. The clear-water figure is the widest lane that fits between the shores along the whole corridor. That comes out narrower than the headland-to-headland width an atlas prints.
