Waterborne freight in the United Kingdom: 2003
Waterborne Freight in the United Kingdom 2003 presents information on freight traffic moved within the United Kingdom by water transport in 2003. The statistics cover traffic carried by both barges and seagoing vessels along inland waters, traffic carried around the UK coast, traffic to and from offshore installations, and sea dredging and dumping.
A number of maps showing the main ports and wharves along major waterways have been added to this year's report which should make it easier for readers to get a fuller picture of the important maritime and inland waterway freight hubs.
A complementary publication Maritime Statistics 2003 provides detailed information about passenger and freight traffic through UK ports, ships owned and registered in the UK, and the world fleet. This publication can be obtained from The Stationery Office , price £34.
