This will help improve the quality and usefulness of official statistics that decision makers, businesses and citizens need. This Request for Information concentrates on Trade in Services and that ONS are seeking to develop partnerships with organisations that hold information about sea freight revenues on imports of all goods into the UK, by non-UK operated ships and freight revenues of non-UK operated ships for transporting all goods around the UK coast.

It is desirable that these revenues only cover non-UK operated ships (commercial operator). o An acceptable substitute is total freight revenue on imports of all goods into the UK on any nationality operated ships. o Sea freight revenues earned on all goods transported around the UK coast by non-UK operated ships. It is desirable that data can be provided for total freight earnings for coastwise transportation of all goods around the UK by all non-UK operated ships (commercial operator). o An acceptable substitute is providing the following two freight rates: - A freight rate for shipping dry goods to the UK, ideally an average $ per tonne rate for shipping coal from Rotterdam. - A freight rate for shipping wet goods around the UK coast, ideally the average $ per barrel rate for shipping oil from Sullom Voe to Milford Haven. o Geographical breakdown for the international and coastwise freight revenues using the nationality of the ships commercial operators.
