## About this tender

The Data Science Campus (DSC) within the Office for National Statistics is planning to undertake a project looking at port traffic and cargo data. DSC want to explore UK's imports and exports based on shipping freights and investigate if this can be used as GDP indicators or nowcast (forecast) international trade. In addition DSC wants to investigate the traffic around UK's major ports, the delays happening in specific ports and situations and possible under or over utilisation.

In order to do this DSC are looking to access the following data:

• freight ships arriving at and departing from UK main ports;

• the origin and destination of the ship;

• the type of cargo the ship is carrying;

• information about the route the ship followed and frequent interval location to identify situations where the ship stayed still for a long time.

Additional information: If you would like to express an interest in being part of this research process, register on the ONS e-tendering portal [in-tendhost.co.uk/ons](https://in-tendhost.co.uk/ons) and use the "express an interest" function against the project title 'Requirement for shipping data'.
