It is the purpose of this report to attempt to determine the cost structures of the various components of through transport short-sea services, to consider the relationship between traffic volumes and appropriate technology, the way in which shipping lines compete, and how future changes might redirect development. The analysis is based upon a questionnaire survey of operators, interviews with ports and shipping lines, trade press data, and in particular, Lloyds List data on vessel itineraries and Lloyds and other Registers of ships, and the excellent statistics produced by the National Ports Council.
