What the archive shows

133 messages are recorded since 2000-01-17 for the Strait of Gibraltar. The selection uses the IHO sea area; a message may describe an exercise, equipment outage or continuing operation as well as a hazard report.

Cable ops accounts for 53 of 133 recorded messages (40%), the largest category group in this selection.

The NGA historical archive froze in 2024-05; live collection began 2026-08-17. Counts around that gap are incomplete, and changes in reporting volume do not establish changes in incident frequency.
