Yard profiles are derived entirely from the builder field of the vessels we track — coverage is partial (build yard is recorded for a minority of the fleet), so counts and totals reflect our tracked sample, not a yard's full output. Segments use the same classifier as the rest of the platform; average age is deadweight-weighted (the broker convention).
