  1. Data Availability and Comparability by Sector in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland Nicola Fisher & Naomi McLaughlin DRD NI

  2. 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

  3. 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 Document existing freight movement data sources

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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. Road Freight

  7. 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)) Main Sources of Data for Road Freight

  8. 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 Issues for Road Freight

  9. Data Availability & Comparability

  10. Trends in Road Freight Data Road Freight Activity in NI & ROI by vehicles registered in NI, ROI & GB, 2004 – 2009

  11. Activities 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

  12. 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. Data Gaps Continued

  13. 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. Maritime Freight

  14. 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 Main Sources of Maritime Freight Data

  15. Data Availability & Comparability

  16. Maritime Data Trends

  17. Maritime Data Trends

  18. 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. Maritime Data Gaps

  19. EC regulation No 437/2003 on statistical returns in respect of the carriage of passengers, freight and mail by air Air Freight

  20. 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 Main Sources of Air Freight Data

  21. 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 Data Issues

  22. Data Availability & Comparability

  23. Air Freight Trends

  24. No significant air freight gaps identified yet Data Gaps for Air Freight

  25. Rail Freight ceased in NI in 2003 Data for ROI is provided by Iarnród Éireann and published in CSO Transport Omnibus on an annual basis Rail Freight

  26. Rail Freight in ROI

  27. Bord na Mona Extensive private rail network which is used for carrying Peat to power stations & other businesses 3.3 million tonnes carried in 2008 Data not included in the CSO Statistics Rail Freight Data Issues

  28. No significant data gaps identified yet Rail Freight Data Gaps
