- How often are the figures updated?
- Every Monday, with the previous week's landings. Weeks are ISO weeks (Monday–Sunday). The latest two weeks are preliminary because sales notes keep arriving for days after a landing, so they may still rise. With access to Landingsdata you get the figures daily, per vessel and buyer.
