There appears to be no source of analysis available which measures the output of shipping (e.g. tonne miles per week etc.), or provides a general description of the design parameters that a port should plan for to serve a given proportion of ships in a particular market. This report attempts to redress this balance. Data has been drawn from that collected by Lloyds List on ship arrivals and departures at ports, (and from operators whose ships were excluded from Lloyds' analysis), by Lloyds Register on the quantitative description of each ship and by a variety of commercial registers of unitised ships. Four particular subject areas were developed: the supply of shipping, the productivity or output of different groups of ships, the relationship between different ship characteristics, and the demand placed upon ports by the parameters of the ships they serve, all as they relate to the British Isles.
