Shipping industry

Updates to table TSGB0516 will no longer be published by the Department for Transport.

See the Office for National Statistics website to access the latest annual UK shipping industry international revenue and expenditure data that fed into TSGB0516.

Marine accidents and casualties

The department is planning to discontinue table TSGB0517 from the annual TSGB statistics from 2026 onwards. These figures are available from the MAIB dashboards and tables including more detailed breakdowns. As these figures are subject to revisions, it is advisable to always refer to MAIB for the latest figures. Please let us know if you use TSGB0517 and would be negatively affected by its removal by contacting us at Maritime.Stats@dft.gov.uk.

TSGB0517: Marine accident casualties (ODS, 19.3 KB)

As of the 2022 release, TSGB now covers primarily cross-modal information. As a result, there are fewer tables in this chapter. Below are the tables that are no longer published with TSGB, but can still be found in the relevant routine DfT statistical collections. The Transport Statistics Finder can also be used to locate these tables, either by table name or code.
