At the end of 2014 there were:

  • 453 UK registered trading vessels (9% less than in 2013) and totalling 12.3 million gross tons and 12.6 deadweight million tonnes respectively
  • 606 UK direct owned trading vessels, totalling 16.3 million gross tons and 16.5 million deadweight tons
  • 798 UK parent owned trading vessels, totalling 22.7 million gross tons and 30.1 million deadweight
