UK port traffic statistics 1965-2009
Although statistics for Northern Ireland ports are not available prior to 1980, long-term
analyses of trends based on totals for Great Britain are also indicative of United Kingdom
trends. The longer-term time series for the tables referred to can be found on the DfT
website.
x The number of main freight units through UK ports has increased from 2.0 million in 1970
to 11.7 million in 2009. Road goods vehicles and unaccompanied trailers rose from less
than 0.4 million in 1970 to 6.5 million in 2009. [Table 2.1]
x Container traffic rose from 1.5 million units in 1970 to 4.5 million in 2009. Note that the
figures for years from 2005 to 2008 are not directly comparable with earlier years, and
exclude several hundred thousand containers loaded using port-to-port trailers that would
previously have been included (see the footnote to Table 2.1 and Section 2 of Notes to
Tables). [Table 2.1]

Containers carried on Ro-Ro vessels by shipborne port-to-port trailer are classified to 'rail wagons,
shipborne port-to-port trailers & barges' or 'Lo-Lo and conventional services'.
3
In 2005 more accurate recording of container/shipborne port-to-port trailer movements meant that the
2005 figures were not directly comparable with earlier years. It is estimated that approximately
300,000 container units, which in earlier years would have been reported as containers, were reported under
'rail wagons, shipborne port-to-port trailers and barges' in 2005.

Section 5: United Kingdom & Crown Dependencies Registered
Vessels
This section contains statistics of vessels of 100 gt and over registered in the British
Islands (that is the United Kingdom and the Crown Dependencies of the Isle of Man and
the Channel Islands).
x Between 1950 and 1986, the number of trading vessels in the UK fleet (which included
the then small Crown Dependency fleets) fell steadily from 3,092 to 545. The tonnage
of the fleet rose from 17.2 to 31.5 million gt between 1950 and 1975 before falling back
sharply to 7.7 million gt in 1986. [Table 5.5 (web only)]
x Between 1986, when ICST vessel types were introduced, and 1997 the UK fleet
decreased from 482 to 246 while tonnage decreased from 7.0 million gt to 2.7 million
gt. Since 1997 the UK registered trading fleet has grown again to 595 vessels and 16.4
million gt in 2009 [Table 5.4 (see web for pre-2004)]
x The average size of all UK registered trading vessels increased from 5,562 gt in 1950
to 27,524 gt in 2009. The average tanker size rose from 7,009 gt to 17,140 gt over the
same period. [Tables 5.4 and 5.5 (web only)]

Notes to tables
All the tables in this report are now also available in spreadsheet form via the DfT Transport
Statistics web site (www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/statistics/ - see ‘Maritime’). The time series tables on
the web tables now include figures for as many previous years as are available, which cannot
be included in the published report for reasons of space. The spreadsheet versions of Table
3.8 on the web site (results for each major port) provide additional detail in terms of numbers
of units for unitised traffic, and allow users greater freedom to filter for the data they require.
This year Table 1.3 has a revised format and there is now an additional table (1.4a) which
summarises the results in Table 1.3 by Port Group. The Government Office Region (GOR)
table (1.4b) added for the first time last year has been slightly enhanced to give more
information on freight through the Port of London and the London GOR.
Coverage
The statistics relate to traffic to and from ports in United Kingdom, unless otherwise stated,
and do not cover ports in the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands.
Sources
(a) From 2000 onwards
Supplied to a Collection Agent appointed by the Department for Transport (DfT) for
onward transmission to DfT:
(i) detailed quarterly returns from shipping lines or their agents of all freight traffic at
major UK ports, by vessel and route;
(ii) quarterly returns of inwards and outwards weight and units by port authorities or
other undertakings at major ports;
(iii) annual returns of inwards and outwards traffic only, by port authorities or other
undertakings at minor ports.
These returns were introduced by DfT to comply with regulations implementing an EC
Maritime Statistics Directive (Council Directive 95/64/EC on statistical returns in respect of
the carriage of goods and passengers by sea, since recast as Directive 2009/42/EC).
(b) Prior to 2000
Supplied to DfT for ports in Great Britain from 1980 to 1999, to the Department of
Economic Development, Northern Ireland for ports in Northern Ireland from 1988 to
1999, and to the National Ports Council from 1965 to 1980:
(i) detailed annual traffic returns made by port authorities or other undertakings at
major ports;
(ii) annual returns of inwards and outwards traffic from port authorities or other
undertakings at minor ports.
The data collection system is described in more detail in Appendix A.
158
Major and minor ports
From 2000, major ports are those with cargo volumes of at least 1 million tonnes annually
(plus a small number of ports with less tonnage). The current major ports are listed in
Appendix C. Prior to 2000 the threshold for ‘major’ ports was 2 million tonnes of cargo
annually. More detailed data are collected for major ports than for the remaining ‘minor’ ports,
and this is reflected in the statistics which can be produced. Tables 1.1-1.5 and 2.1-2.3 have
been supplemented by estimated breakdowns of the minor port traffic.
Weights
All weights are tonnes gross, including crates and other packaging. The tare weights of
containers, road goods vehicles, trailers and other items of transport equipment (i.e. the
unloaded weight of the vehicle or equipment itself) are excluded.
Domestic Coastwise Traffic between ports in the United Kingdom (and with the Isle of Man and
the Channel Islands). The totals of inwards and outwards coastwise traffic,
however, do not match exactly. This is mainly because traffic between
major and minor ports, or between major ports and ports in the Isle of Man
and the Channel Islands, are not recorded at both ends (as is the case with
coastwise traffic between major ports), but only at the major port end.
One-port Dredged sand, gravel etc, landed at a port for commercial purposes; and
traffic to and from UK offshore oil and gas installations (traffic with non-UK
offshore oil and gas installations is recorded as foreign traffic). Formerly
also included material shipped for dumping at sea, until this practice
ceased.
Foreign Short sea EU (as at 1 Jan Traffic with Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Denmark
2007) (including Faroe Islands), Estonia, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta,
Netherlands, Poland, Portugal (including Madeira and
Azores), Republic of Ireland, Romania, Spain
(including the Canary Islands), Slovenia, Sweden
Deep Sea Rest of World Traffic with all countries of Africa (excluding
Mediterranean countries), America (both North and
South America), Asia (excluding Mediterranean and
Black Sea countries) and Australasia
Foreign and domestic traffic by port and port group (Table 1.3 and 1.4a)
The ports separately identified are generally those ports handling at least 100,000 tonnes,
where this is possible. The port groups are shown in Appendices B and D.
159
All ports of United Kingdom, by Government Office Region (Table 1.4b)
The Port of London reports for some facilities along the lower reaches of the River Thames
which are in the South East and East of England Regions, as well as some in the London
Region. This is the only port which is ‘split’ between regions.
Major port traffic by flag or owner nationality of carrying vessel (Tables 1.12-1.13)
In Table 1.12 the flag denotes the country authorising the registry of the vessel (see also
Section 5). In Table 1.13 nationality refers to the nationality of the direct registered owner of
the vessel (see also Section 4).

The adjustment shown was calculated using updated information obtained from ports
together with information from shipping lines and published sources. Comparative data is
shown for 2005-08. Note that the original figures for 2000-2004 have not been adjusted in
the main report tables.
It should be noted that in both the previous and current data collection systems containers
carried by road goods vehicle or road goods trailer are correctly classified as 'road goods
vehicles’ or 'unaccompanied trailers' and not as containers.
Major ports container traffic in TEUs and weight carried (Table 2.7)
TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units) is a standardised measure to allow for the different sizes of
container boxes. The standard units taken for each size of container box are as follows:
Units
20 foot containers 1
40 foot containers 2
>20 foot and <40 foot 1.5
>40 foot 2.25

3. vessels of war and those carrying goods for government departments;
4. tugs and other vessels employed within the limit of the port or estuary;
5. other dredgers, supply and support ships, and research vessels;
6. fishing vessels; pleasure yachts; and
7. vessels entering a port to land sick or injured crew members (where known).
Ships recorded as passenger only or cruise ships are also excluded from the tables (ro-ro
passenger ships will be included by virtue of their ro-ro capability).
Ships which carry containers are only recorded as container vessels if they are fully cellular.
Other vessels that carry containers are recorded as ‘Other dry cargo vessels’ or ‘Ro-Ro
vessels’ as appropriate.
Vessels
The statistics include all known sea-going ships (and a few non-seagoing vessels) of 100
gross tons (gt) and above. United States reserve fleet and Great Lakes fleet are included but
most naval vessels are excluded.
Vessel types
The ship type classifications used are mainly based on levels 3 and 4 of the 1994 revision of
the International Classification of Ship Types (ICST), as shown in Appendix E.
163
The ICST classification was developed by an ad-hoc group of users of ship statistics,
working informally with the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development
(UNCTAD), the Statistical Office of the European Communities (SOEC) and Lloyd’s.
Trading vessels
Trading vessels are those which carry cargo or passengers for commercial purposes.
Certain vessel types, for example dredgers and fishing vessels, are therefore deemed to be
‘non-trading’. Other vessels, whilst constructed for ‘trading’ purposes, are also deemed to be
non-trading because they have been converted for a non-trading use, for example storage or
a floating restaurant, or because they are non-seagoing. This is an important distinction
because while trading vessels account for the vast majority of UK registered or owned
shipping tonnage, they account for a much smaller proportion of vessel numbers.
Registry
Ships are registered at ports, and registry (or ‘flag’) refers to the country of the port at which
a ship is registered. The breakdown of flags and flag groups by country is as follows:
UK Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Overseas Anguilla, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar,
Territories Hong Kong (until 1 July 1997), Montserrat, St Helena, Turks and Caicos Islands
European Union United Kingdom (inc. Isle of Man & Channel Islands), Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus,
Czech Republic, Denmark (inc. DIS, Faeroes and Greenland), Estonia, Finland, France
(at 1 Jan 2007)
(inc. French Antarctic Territory, French Guiana, French Polynesia, Guadeloupe,
Martinique, Mayotte, New Caledonia, Reunion, St Pierre & Miquelon and Wallis and
Futuna Islands), Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg,
Netherlands (inc. Netherlands Antilles and Aruba), Malta, Poland, Portugal (inc. Madeira,
MAR, Azores and Macao), Republic of Ireland, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia,
Spain (inc. Canary Islands and CSR) and Sweden
USA USA (inc. Great Lakes fleet, American Samoa, Virgin Islands of the USA, Northern
Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico and USA reserve fleet (except for mid-year 1998))
UK ownership
UK owned (or directly owned) ships, wherever registered, are those for which the nationality
of the owner is United Kingdom (not including the Crown Dependencies). Where a vessel is
owned by a company, its nationality is deemed to be that of the country in which the
company is incorporated.
UK parent owned ships are those for which the nationality of the company having the
controlling interest in the direct owner is United Kingdom.
Units of measurement
Under the International Convention on the Tonnage Measurement of Ships, 1969, gross
tonnage (GT) is defined as the following function of the total volume of all enclosed spaces in
the ship (V), in cubic metres:
164
GT = K 1 V
where K 1 = 0.2 + 0.02log 10 V.
Although the Convention is fully in force, the old 'gross registered tons' measure may still be
the measure recorded on Lloyd’s Register-Fairplay World Fleet Database in a small
proportion of cases. This was directly related to the capacity of the space within the hull, and
of the enclosed spaces above the deck, which were available for cargo, stores, passengers
and crew, with certain exceptions. In practice, old and new tonnage measures are fairly
similar, except for ships with substantial exempt spaces under the old system, such as Ro-
Ro vessels.
Deadweight tonnes (dwt) is the weight of cargo, stores, fuel, passengers and crew carried by
the ship when loaded to her maximum summer loadline. Up to 1986, statistics were
compiled for imperial deadweight but from 1987 metric units are used (one deadweight ton
(imperial) = 1.016 deadweight tonnes).
TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units) is a measure of the container-carrying capacity of a
vessel, in terms of the number of standard twenty-foot containers which it could carry.
165
Appendix A
Data collection system for maritime freight traffic
The current collection arrangements for port freight traffic statistics were introduced in 1
January 2000 to meet the requirements of the EC Maritime Statistics Directive (Council
Directive 95/64/EC on statistical returns in respect of the carriage of goods and
passengers by sea, recast as Directive 2009/42/EC).
This Appendix describes the current collection and analysis system, and describes the main
differences between these statistics and those which were collected before 2000.
Under the Directive, information is required quarterly on foreign and domestic tonnages and
freight units, for major ports (i.e. those that have over one million tonnes of freight per
annum) by route, flag and cargo type. Less information is required for smaller ports.
Most of the detailed freight information is collected from shipping lines, operators and
shipping agents, because the detailed route and ship flag information required by the
Directive is only generally available from them. The ports supply more limited information
quarterly and annually, which is used to provide control totals and also to publish more timely
provisional results.
The full guidance for data providers is available via a dedicated section of the DfT web site:
www.dft.gov.uk/ukmaritimestatistics/, including the forms, instructions for their completion and
code lists.
166
Ports also provide quarterly returns listing the shipping agents, lines and operators active
at the port (MSD3) and giving data on ship arrivals and departures (MSD4).

Validation and Quality Assurance procedures
Data are mainly reported electronically, either as bespoke XML files (the GESMES
system) or ASCII files, or via a web-based reporting tool (iSDES). A few senders still report
by email or other methods. The guidance for data providers may be found here:
http://www.dft.gov.uk/ukmaritimestatistics/. The data are sent to a Collection Agency
working on behalf of DfT, who collate the data, carry out initial validation checks, and also
operate a helpdesk and identify and follow up non-respondents. Validation checks at this
stage include checks on the validity of port codes and ship identities, and basic plausibility
checks on types and sizes of certain cargoes.
Once data are transmitted securely to DfT additional checks are carried out, including the
cross-comparison of MSD1, MDS2 and MSD2X records, and comparisons with previous
time periods. Major anomalies are followed up with data providers.
Grossing procedures
MDS2, MSD2X or MSD5 returns are normally received from virtually all significant
operators. It is not possible to measure the response rate for MSD1s except by comparing
the resulting traffic totals with those from the MSD2 or MSD2X returns.
The MSD2X data from ports are used as control totals to gross up the information supplied
by shipping lines and agents data, to estimate missing values. Each of the data variables
for each port on the MSD2X, ie. the cargo categories for unitised and non-unitised traffic (see
Table 1) are divided by the corresponding estimates provided by shipping lines and agents to
produce grossing factors. These factors are then applied to all corresponding MSD1 data
variables to provide grossed totals. This method allows the estimation of other variables, for
example traffic by cargo type by port of loading and unloading, vessel characteristics, flag etc,
which are unavailable from ports from the MSD2 or MSD2X. The grossing procedure applies
to traffic to and from major ports; information for minor ports is added in separately.
From 2000 all freight estimates shown in the tables which have a geographic element, eg.
imports, exports, foreign, domestic traffic, have been estimated by the grossing procedures
described above based on information supplied by shipping lines and agents. For 1999 and
earlier years this information has been estimated by ports but only approximately in many
cases. The new collection arrangements provide more reliable geographic information, ie.
estimates of imports, exports, foreign, coastwise, one-port traffic, traffic on individual
routes etc.
The overall effect of grossing, and the spread of grossing factors, are summarised in the
following table.

(3) Final detailed results are published about 9 months after the year end. At this stage a
full reconciliation of port and shipping agent data will have been carried out, and the
grossing procedures described above completed and checked. The detailed results are
based on this grossed data. At this stage the full range of analyses, including those by
route and vessel type are available.

The previous system (1999 and earlier years)
Annual statistics on freight handled at GB ports have been collected by the Department for
Transport since 1980. (Statistics for Northern Ireland ports were collected by the Department
for Economic Development, Northern Ireland from 1988 to 1999, and have been collected by
DfT within the UK system since 2000). Prior to this, similar statistics were collected by the
National Ports Council from 1965. There were various relatively modest changes to the
collection system during this period, and these notes relate mainly to the previous data
collection system as it was in its final form, from 1995 to 1999.
Although the published data series from before 2000 are considered to be largely
comparable with the current system, the change in collection methodology resulted in some
discontinuities in the data between 2000 and previous years.
The current system includes more detail than previously on vessels and routes (in terms of
the port of loading/unloading) used, and on unitised traffic by weight; but less commodity
detail for non-unitised traffic.
Prior to 2000 all freight information was collected from ports annually. There was no
quarterly collection and no collection from shipping agents. A PS4 form was sent to major
ports asking for detailed information on weight of traffic in and out, by cargo category and
whether these were foreign, coastwise or one port cargoes. A detailed commodity analysis
was also required for bulk traffic, and a broad commodity analysis for coastwise traffic.
Separate information was required on unitised traffic ie. the number of number of units in and
out by unitised cargo categories and by broad route.
The major ports covered by the PS4 were taken to be ports with least 2 million tonnes of
cargo a year. A few selected ports with smaller volumes were also included, which were
required to provide only total weight of cargo, in and out, in a simplified form.
Main differences between the freight collection systems in 1995–1999 and from 2000
Difference Freight collection system from 2000 Freight collection system in 1995–1999
Traffic More detail on unitised traffic by weight (eg. Less detail on unitised traffic by weight but
breakdown by size of container) but less commodity more commodity detail on non-unitised
detail on non-unitised traffic. Change to traffic (see table below for full comparison)
definition of containers on Roll-on/Roll-off
services (see table below for full

Route and Information on individual trips from shipping No information from shipping lines and
vessel lines and agents, including port of load and agents and no vessel data. Detailed
information unload, so geographic information should information annually from ports, but
be more accurate. Also vessel details aggregated – no individual trips identified,
available eg. LRN and flag. Summary data so geographic information is likely to be
only from ports, on traffic in and out of less accurate.
