Compiled from the linked sources. Last reviewed . How corrections work
From coastal AIS receivers (aisstream.io, Fintraffic, Norwegian Coastal Administration). A ship near a fault isn’t necessarily working on it; the repair ship is named only when a source says so.
Shown for context. An earthquake or storm nearby is only given as the cause when a source says so, and outage signals show connectivity dropped somewhere in a country, not which cable.
