AIS-dark gaps — intervals where a vessel stopped broadcasting AIS then reappeared, derived from terrestrial AIS coverage. Each row is one gap with the last-known position before it went dark. Requires a plan with Maritime intelligence access (can_use_maritime) — the Corporate & Supply Chain plan and above.
Forward-accruing: gaps begin accruing at launch (June 2026) — no historical backfill. Terrestrial AIS only (no satellite); a gap reflects loss of terrestrial reception, not necessarily a deliberate dark event. Filtered by gap-end time; date windows are capped at 30 days and default to the trailing 7 days.
