<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 />
