1. In this table of freight lifted in Scotland, coastwise traffic excludes cargoes loaded elsewhere in the UK and unloaded in Scotland

2. In this table, one port traffic excludes cargoes from offshore installations and sea dredged aggregates unloaded in Scotland

3. This is the total of Coastwise traffic, One Port traffic and the "Internal" and "Foreign" components of Inland Waterway traffic.

To avoid double-counting of tonnages lifted, this total excludes the "Coastwise" and "One Port" components of Inland Waterway traffic.

4. For 1995 onwards, these figures relate to major ports only. There were seven major ports in 1995 and 1996; and eight in 1997.

5. This is the total of Coastwise traffic, One Port traffic, the "Internal" component of Inland Waterway traffic, and Port exports. To avoid double-counting, this total excludes the "Coastwise", "One Port" and "Foreign" components of Inland Waterway traffic.

6. This is the total of Coastwise traffic, One Port traffic and Inland Waterway traffic. There is no double-counting because (for example) the tonne-kilometres for the "Coastwise" component of Inland Waterway traffic relate only to the distance travelled on inland waterways, and the tonne-kilometres for "Coastwise traffic" relate only to the distance travelled at sea.

7. Figures for tonne-kilometres are not available for exports (and, in any case, would not be relevant to Scottish transport statistics
