Section 1: Port Freight Traffic (tonnage)

1. All UK Ports 1.1 Summary Between the early 1980s and 2000 the total amount of freight traffic increased by 35 per cent. The 2008 recession resulted in the largest yeaon year decline seen in the last 30 years, falling by 11 per cent between 2008 and 2009.

Total tonnage levels were slightly increased in 2010 and 2011, but fell by 4per cent in 2012. However, total freight traffic has remained broadly stable since, with 503.2 million tonnes being handled in 2014.

1.2 Inwards/ Outwards Tonnage Inwards traffic has remained stable at 325.5 million tonnes, accounting for 65 per cent of all traffic in 2014. Inwards traffic followed a similar trend to all traffic since 1980.

The amount of outwards freight traffic grew by 23 per cent between 1990 and 1996, then remained steady until 1998. However, outwards traffic steadily declined since 1998. The lowest level of outwards traffic in the last 30 years was observed in 2013 (177.4 million tonnes), and has since remained stable with 177.7 million tonnes in 2014.

Definitions Inwards/Outwards: Inwards and outwards includes both domesticand international traffic.

Imports/exports: Only international traffic.

1.5 Freight Tonnage by Port Grimsby & Immingham has remained the UK’s busiest port in terms of tonnage, handling 12 per cent of the UK market in 2014. Grimsby & Immingham overtook London as the busiest port in 2000.

Of the top ten ports, Dover had the largest percentage increase in tonnage which was mostly due to the amount of road goods vehicles and trailers being imported and exported. Felixstowe was the second largest growing port, driven largely by container growth. Out of the top 10 busiest ports, Milford Haven saw the largest decrease in tonnage which was predominantly due to the decrease in crude oil imported at this port (see section 2.3).

2. Freight Tonnage by Cargo Type (Major Ports)There are 51 major ports, which handle 98 per cent of the overall traffic. A breakdown of cargo, including detailed information on the routes taken, is avaliable for major ports only.

2.1 Cargo Type Summary In 2014, major port tonnage remained stable when compared to levels in 2013, with 491.9 million tonnes being handled.

Liquid bulk was the largest of the main cargo types with 187.8 million tonnes being handled at UK major ports, accounting for 38 per cent of all major port traffic with its largest contributing subgroup being crude oil.

Dry bulk was the second largest cargo category with 122.0 million tonnes being handled at UK ports, making up 25 per cent of all traffic. This category includes coal which accounts for the largest proportion at 37 per cent of dry bulk traffic, followed by other dry bulk at 35 per cent.

Definitions Cargo Category: 5 main categories-liquid bulk, dry bulk, ro-ro traffic, lo-lo traffic and other general cargo.

Cargo is allocated a category in respect to how it is carried on the ship. The main categories are then are spilt into smaller subgroups of what the cargo particularly is eg crude oil.

2.2 Cargo Category Trend In 2014 freight handled at UK major ports has remained stable at 491.9 million tonnes.

Liquid bulk fell by 5 per cent with 187.8 million tonnes being handled at UK ports. Despite this decline it remained the most common cargo category handled. Liquid bulk has steadily declined since 2001 due to large decreases in crude oil imports and exports.

Dry bulk remained stable in 2014 with 122.0 million tonnes being handled at UK major ports. This was largely due to the increase in Other dry bulk, which countered decreases in coal (see section 2.3).

Other general cargo, which includes forestry products, iron and steel products and all other cargo decreased slightly by 1 per cent compared to 2013. In 2014, there were 21.2 million tonnes of other general cargo handled.

Lo-Lo increased by 8 per cent to 61.3 million tonnes and Ro-Ro also increased, by 5 per cent to 99.6 million tonnes, in 2014 compared to the previous year.

2.3 Cargo Subcategories TrendBulk fuels (crude oil, oil products, liquefied gas and coal) fell for the third year, by 8 per cent to 221.4 million tonnes in 2014. The amount of coal (dry bulk) handled in 2014 decreased by 14 per cent, with decreases also seen in oil products and crude oil.

Liquid Bulk The volume of crude oil passing through UK ports nearly halved since 2000, from 184.3 million tonnes to 89.5 million tonnes in 2014. Crude oil tonnage fell by 4 per cent compared to 2013, carrying on the trend seen in the last decade, and falling to the lowest level in the last 20 years. Three oil refineries, based at Milford Haven and Dundee, closed in 2014 in a likely response to increasing international competition and a decline in demand for UK oil refinery.

Oil products tonnage fell by 9 per cent to 74.5 million tonnes compared to 2013: the lowest level seen in the last 20 years.

Dry Bulk In 2014, there was a 14 per cent decrease in the amount of coal handled at UK ports to 44.7 million tonnes, the first decrease since 2010.

However, other dry bulk increased by 20 per cent to 42.4 million tonnes: the largest increase since 2000, with inwards movements of other dry bulk having increased by 24 per cent compared to the previous year. Other dry bulk goods include biomass fuels, typically in the form of wood pellets or woodchips. Decisions by major ‘coal fuelled’ power stations in the North of England, including Drax and Lynemouth, to switch from burning coal to biomass may be contributing to these trends seen in coal and other dry bulk tonnage. Grimsby & Immingham and Tyne ports handle biomass destined for these power stations and have confirmed that coal imports are being replaced by biomass imports in relation to power station fuel supplies.

Exports of other dry bulk tonnage also increased by 11 per cent, reflecting increased global demand for biomass products.

Many of the UK major ports are specialised in the cargo categories they handle, as seen with Milford Haven, Felixstowe and Dover (see map on the next page).

3. Trade Routes 3.1 All UK Ports Summary In 2014, 4 out of every 5 tonnes of freight handled by UK ports was being imported or exported from international ports, similar to the previous two years - a total of 404.6 million tonnes in 2014. However, international traffic is now 8 per cent lower than the peak (439.5 million) in 2006.

Since 1987, the UK has imported more freight by sea than it has exported. In 2014 two thirds of international traffic were UK imports.

Grimsby & Immingham dominated EU routes and was also the second largest port for international traffic for non-EU short sea and deep sea routes.

Definitions International freight routes are split into three main categories:

EU: all members of the European union.

Non-EU short sea: includes European countries not in the EU, Mediterranean and North African countries such as Egypt.

Non-EU deep sea: includes all other routes.

Detailed statistics on freight traffic (tonnage) can be found in the statistical data sets, PORT0102, PORT0103 and PORT0106.

3.2 Domestic traffic Domestic traffic (coastwise and one-port) within all UK ports increased for the first time in 2014 since 2005. This was a 2 per cent increase to 98.6 million tonnes compared to 2013.

Domestic traffic is largely coastwise, with coastwise accounting for 82% of all domestic traffic. In 2014, there were 80.8 million tonnes oftraffic transported coastwise between UK major ports. This was a 3 per cent increase compared to 2013, the first increase since 2007.

One-port tonnage slightly decreased by 1 per cent to 17.8 million tonnes.

DefinitionsDomestic: Made up of coastwise and one-port traffic(see below).

Coastwise: Traffic travelling within UK waters betweenports in the United Kingdom.

One-port: Sand and gravel etc dredged from sea bed and landed at a port for commercial purposes; and traffic to andfrom UK offshore locations eg oil & gas installations and wind farms.

3.3 International Traffic by Destination/Route In 2014, 204.1 million tonnes of traffic travelled between UK major ports and EU countries (42 per cent of major port traffic). In 2014 there were 54.8 million tonnes of freight which passed to and from the Netherlands, accounting for 14 per cent of all international traffic. The Netherlands are the UK’s largest trading partner in the world. This may be in part due to cargo initially travelling to the Netherlands from worldwide ports of origin and being reloaded before continuing on to the UK (known as transhipment). France was the UK’s largest trading partner until 2005 when it was exceeded by the Netherlands.

Liquid bulk and dry bulk accounted for just under two thirds of international traffic moving in and out of UK major ports (37 per cent and 24 per cent of total international traffic, respectively). Imports of liquid bulk from Norway amounted to 22.5 million tonnes in 2014 (25 per cent of all liquid bulk imports), making it the largest cargo specific trading route which it has been thoughout the last decade. The Netherlands was the largest exporting trade route with 16.9 million tonnes of liquid bulk traffic being exported (29 per cent of all liquid bulk exports).

Deep sea traffic accounted for 120 million tonnes, 24 per cent of major port tonnage. Out of the deep sea countries, the route between the UK and USA was the busiest, primarily due to 13.3 million tonnes of dry bulk being imported into the UK from the USA in 2014.

This has been attributed to investments in systems which have reduced turnaround times. The economic upturn and increasing consumer confidence may be a contributing factor to this recent success. 2014 also saw the opening of the port, London Gateway, with all traffic of Lo-Lo main freight units increasing by 14 per cent at the Port of London compared to 2013.

Detailed statistics (tables) on unitised traffic can be found in the statistical data sets, PORT0202, PORT0204, PORT0206 and PORT0207.2.2 Trade Routes by Cargo Category

Ninety-three per cent of Lo-Lo containers handled by UK major ports travelled to or from an international destination. In 2014, 5.2 million Lo-Lo units (8.8 TEUs) travelled between UK major ports and international ports, with a total weight of 57.3 million tonnes.

Nearly a quarter (23 per cent) of international unitised traffic was by passenger vehicles. Freight units made up the remainder, of which import/export motor vehicles were the largest unit type with 3.9 million units.

Despite import/export motor vehicles being the second most common commodity, accounting for 20 per cent of all international traffic, they were among the smallest in terms of tonnage (6.4 million tonnes). This is in comparison to the 3.3 million units of road goods vehicles and trailers which travelled to international destinations, with cargo weighing 37.5 million tonnes.

The most common unitised domestic commodity was also passenger vehicles, of which there were 1.2 million units (36 per cent of domestic traffic). Freight units accounted for the remainder, of which unaccompanied road good trailers were the majority share, accounting for 29 per cent of domestic unitised freight traffic and weighing 13.3 million tonnes.






2.3 Trade DestinationVery few trading routes are used for both Lo-Lo and Ro-Ro main freight traffic, as seen in chart 13. Transporting units through Roll-on/Roll-off was the primary method of transporting units between the UK major ports and Europe, with 77 per cent of main freight units being Ro-Ro units.

Routes between UK major ports and Europe tend to be dominated by Ro-Ro, whilst routes outside of Europe / world wide ports tend to ship Lo-Lo containers.

Of the traffic travelling on deep sea journeys, 99.96 per cent were Lo-Lo containers with the majority of them travelling between the UK and China (42 per cent of all deep sea main freight traffic).

3. Strengths and weaknesses of the data

• The port freight statistics relate to traffic to and from ports in the United Kingdom, unless otherwise stated, and do not cover ports in the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands.

• Final port freight statistics are published 8 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 in the Technical Note are completed and checked. The detailed results in this release are based on the grossed data and the full range of analyses, including those by route and vessel type are then available.

4. Glossary

• Lo-Lo (lift-on lift-off) containers: standard shipping containers that are lifted on or off ships. Containers can also be carried on Ro-Ro (roll-on roll-off) services, usually on port-to-port trailers, road goods vehicles or unaccompanied trailers, in which case they will be treated as Ro-Ro traffic.

• Main freight units: all Lo-Lo containers and those Ro-Ro units intended mainly for carrying freight - road goods vehicles, unaccompanied trailers, rail wagons, shipborne port to port trailers and shipborne barges.

• Major ports: Ports handling over one million tonnes per year, and a small number of other key ports, together accounting for over 98% of UK port traffic. More detailed statistics are collected from these ports.

• Minor ports: All other ports handling freight traffic. Only total weight of goods loaded and unloaded is collected from these ports.

• Tonnage: The weight of goods transported, including crates and other packaging, but excluding the unloaded weight of any shipping containers, road goods vehicles, trailers and other items of transport equipment where these are used.

• Units: Includes all roll-on roll-off (Ro-Ro) units whether carrying freight or not (road goods vehicles, unaccompanied trailers, shipborne port-to-port trailers, passenger vehicles, trade vehicles, and other Ro-Ro units), as well as lift-on lift-off (Lo-Lo) containers. In most port statistics outputs, freight-carrying roll-on roll-off units are normally reported separately from others, but this detail is not available at the time of publication of the quarterly statistics, in which combined totals are given.

5. Users and uses of the data

These statistics are collected to provide information on trends and patterns in the handling of freight traffic at UK sea ports. Users of the data include central government, the devolved administrations and local government, the maritime industry, transport consultants and academics, and international organisations.

1 Includes estimates for traffic at minor ports.2 Containers carried on Ro-Ro vessels by shipborne port-to-port trailer are classified to 'rail wagons, shipborne port-to-port trailers and 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.

1 Excludes arrivals from the Isle of Wight. See Port Freight Statistics Technical Note for more details of arrivals and types of vessels that are excluded.

2 To give a consistent time series, this table includes only the first four ship types of Table PORT0601 - tanker, ro-ro, container and general cargo vessel.

3 The scope of the ship arrivals tables was re-designed for 2009 data onwards. For details, see Port Freight Statistics Technical Note (link below)

4 Fleetwood ceased operatoring in 2011.

5 Stranraer port closed in November 2011 and it's facilities were transferred to Loch Ryan.

6 On the 'new' basis some ports previously grouped in 'other' categories are now shown separately.7 Figures fell in 2013 owing to a ferry operator from Ramsgate entering into administration in April 2013R Ro-Ro vessels data is revised for Cairnryan and Stranraer due to a processing error.

UK Port Freight Statistics 2014...Of the top ten ports, Dover had the largest percentage increase in tonnage which was mostly due to the amount of road goods vehicles and trailers
