As a result of the error, especially the number of Finnish vessels was lower than in reality in the database tables. Especially the numbers of vessels from Antigua and Barbudan and the Netherlands were corrected in the Saimaa Canal vessel traffic. The error has not had an effect on the total number of vessels in foreign sea transport.
