Important note for users

Following an audit of data in Autumn 2024, it was discovered that some of the ferry operators that provides our data had erroneously included vehicles that did not fall under the correct definitions for this publication.

Revisions have been made to the published data for January 2022 to December 2023. A detailed explanation of the impact on the data can be found within the accompanying revision note.
