<strong>D5</strong> <strong>Annex</strong> <strong>WP</strong> 3: DATABASE METHODOLOGY AND DATABASE USER<br />
MANUAL – FREIGHT TRANSPORT DEMAND<br />
If trade data is available but excluding regional detail then regional international transport<br />
information can be used to estimate the regional detail. Here the following priority list can be<br />
used:<br />
1. Region to region<br />
2. Region to country<br />
3. Country to country<br />
International transport data without regional detail are not of use for a topdown database<br />
construction approach. Only in case of a database estimation procedure aggregated international<br />
transport data can be very useful. This has to be considered in case no other data can be found.<br />
Domestic transport data has the following priority list:<br />
1. Region to region<br />
2. Region incoming and region outgoing<br />
3. Country total<br />
The following transport data sources are considered:<br />
· EUROSTAT New Cronos<br />
· National transport data sources<br />
5.2.3 Maritime transhipment data<br />
This type of transhipment information is best known for the major ports or port countries in<br />
Europe. For these ports very reliable and complete information used to be available. After 1992<br />
the availability and quality of this type of data has decreased or the data are not available<br />
anymore (information about ports and modes have become optional for intraEU flows in the<br />
Intrastat system). For other ports in the EU availability of data has always been limited. It has to<br />
be attempted to find alternative useful sources to fill this data gap.<br />
Currently Eurostat collects porttoport data from the Member States according to the Maritime<br />
Directive (see ”Council directive 95/64/EC of 8 December 1995 on statistical returns in respect<br />
of carriage of goods and passengers by sea”). By the end of the testing method, a request has<br />
been made to EUROSTAT by DGTREN to make the data available for the construction of the<br />
<strong>ETIS</strong> reference database. The data have not been received yet at moment of writing. When the<br />
data becomes available, it will be used in the methods. This data contains no information about<br />
transhipment, but it does contain information about goods loaded and unloaded in ports in<br />
relation with partner ports.<br />
The following maritime transhipment data sources are considered:<br />
· National transhipment data sources<br />
· Ports<br />
