British supermarket offers 'finger vein' payment in worldwide firstA UK supermarket has become the first in the world to let shoppers pay for groceries using just the veins in their fingertips.Customers at the Costcutter store, at Brunel University in London, can now pay using their unique vein pattern to identify themselves.The firm behind the technology, Sthaler, has said it is in "serious talks" with other major UK supermarkets to adopt hi-tech finger vein scanners at pay points across thousands of stores.It works by using infrared to scan people's finger veins and then links this unique biometric map to their bank cards. Customers’ bank details are then stored with payment provider Worldpay, in the same way you can store your card details when shopping online. Shoppers can then turn up to the supermarket with nothing on them but their own hands and use it to make payments in just three seconds.

I'm thinking this is ferry arrivals, i.e. not including day trippers on cruise boats. Sami down by almost 50%. August was the busiest month (perhaps due to Ag. Gerasimos) but, in terms of numbers, the biggest increase was in July. In percentage terms, June saw the biggest increase.
Surely the decrease in Sami arrivals by ferry is due to the fact there is no ferry
