Shipping and ports
Port traffic shows the number of calls at the ports — in terms of ships, goods and passengers. The statistics are updated annually, and monthly in an experimental version. In addition, a calculation is made annually of the investments in the ports.
Traffic in terms of port calls is compiled on the basis of ports by e.g. type of ship, size and flag state. The statistics also include investments in the ports and maintenance costs.
With the exception of the monthly experimental statistics for ship calls at ports, the statistics are updated on an annual basis.
Information on the ports comes directly from the ports, while information on investments are from the National accounts.
The experimental port call statistics are based on vessel position data (AIS), which is collected by the Danish Maritime Authority.
