Data Availability and Comparability by Sector in Northern Ireland and the
Republic of Ireland
Document existing freight movement data sources
Analysis of existing freight data sources –NI & ROI
Main sources- CSO (ROI), DfT (GB) and NISRA
Data requested from each organisation
- data related to NI
- data related to ROI
- data related to both NI and ROI
Document existing freight movement data sources
• Data Sources document drawn up by mode- Organisations (data providers)- Data Source - Data Summary Description- Collation Method (census, admin system)- Geographical coverage- Publication frequency- Published metadata
Assess North-South data comparability and highlight significant issues
Comparability table by mode created:
- availability of data (except rail) for NI & ROI
- comparability of data
- reason data aren’t comparable
- potential for comparability in future
Produce a report on findings and
include key comparable data
Report by sector has been produced detailing
- availability, data issues, North- South comparability and potential information gaps
Road Freight
• EU legislation 1172/98 on statistical returns in respect of the carriage of goods by road.
• Should ensure comparability between EU nations.
• Gathering detailed European statistics on road freight transport and harmonising them has been the challenge of the Council Regulation 1172/98.
Main Sources of Data for Road Freight
• Department of Transport (UK) ‘Continuing Survey of Road Goods Transport (NI), CSRGT(NI)
• CSO ‘National Survey of Transport of Goods by Road’
• Administration Systems in both Jurisdictions (DVANI, National Vehicle Driver File (ROI))
Data Issues for Road Freight
Vehicle weight threshold • CSRGT(NI) defines freight as having
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of > 3.5 tonnes
• CSO defines freight as having an unladen weight of > 2 tonnes
• No impact on freight definition but comparison not possible by vehicle type and weight
Data Availability & ComparabilityComparable

Road Freight:
Tonnes carried Yes Yes Yes
Tonnes km Yes Yes Yes
Vehicle km Yes Yes Yes
Number of Heavy Goods Vehicles (Figures for NI are an actual count of licensed vehicles at the 31st December on any given year whereas figures for ROI are the average number of goods vehicles within the scope of the survey) Yes Yes Yes
The difference in counting methodolgy will be highlighted and presented in the report.
Laden Journeys Yes Yes Yes
Origin/Destination by NUTS III (EU Classification of territorial units for Statistics) Yes Yes Yes
Length of Haul Yes Yes Yes
Type of Freight being carried (i.e. Foodstuffs/Crude Minerals/Miscellaneous) yes yes no
NI uses an older classification of NST code than ROI
Yes, can be provided on request from DfT
By vehicle weight (Threshold for freight differs in ROI and NI with freight vehicles in ROI defined as having unladen weight of greater than 2 tonnes whereas in NI, freight vehicles is defined as having a gross vehicle weight of greater than 3.5 tonnes.) Yes Yes no
ROI uses unladen weight of vehicle and NI uses Gross Vehicle Weight
Potentially, but may involve a large amount of calculation on either of the sample surveys.
What proportion of freight is entirely internal? (i.e. NI vehicles with origin & destination within NI and ROI vehicles with an origin & destination within ROI) yes yes yes
What proportion of freight is entirely cabotage (Please note that Data on cabotage in both jurisdictions is only available for NI, ROI and GB registered vehicles)
data available for cabotage in ROI
data available for cabotage in NI Yes
Main times of day for travelling no no no data not available
Switching of Mode (i.e. from ship to road etc. ) no no no data not available
Van Freight data no no n/a data not available

Data GapsActivities of Foreign Trucks• How long do they stay?• What are they carrying?• Nationality of Vehicles and Drivers?• Cabotage undertaken?• Tonnes lifted / tonnes km / Vehicle km
Data Gaps Continued
Extent of LGV/ Van Freight in Ireland• Large amount of goods being transported by
small vans & lorries. • Significant increase in the number of LGV’s
since 2005 in NI• No data on what they are carrying• Van Activity Baseline Survey in England 2008• Statistics Norway have also researched van
freight.
Maritime Freight• EC Maritime Statistics Directive (Council
Directive 2009/42/EC on statistical returns in respect of the carriage of goods and passengers by sea)
• Quarterly returns from ports collecting data
by route, nationality of vessel and cargo type.
Main Sources of Maritime Freight Data
Northern Ireland• Northern Ireland Ports Traffic - DETI• UK Maritime Statistics Report (detailed
info on NI Ports)
Republic of Ireland• Statistics of Port Traffic – CSO• The Irish Maritime Transport Economist –
IMDO - also includes info on NI Ports

Maritime Data Gaps• Don’t know what is being transported in Lift on/Lift off (Lo/Lo) containers or in the Roll on/Roll off (Ro/Ro) vessels.
Air Freight• EC regulation No 437/2003 on statistical
returns in respect of the carriage of passengers, freight and mail by air
Main Sources of Air Freight Data
Northern Ireland• Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) - compile
administrative returns from airports.• Statistics are published monthly / annually
Republic of Ireland• Aviation Statistics Survey – data published
annually in Transport Omnibus Report
Data Issues• Double Counting of Airfreight• Relates to very high value goods, e.g.
computer chips• Freight on Airway Bill before cost of
transport determined• Potentially more cost-effective to transport
by truck to Heathrow for onward transportation to USA
