Chapter 9 Shipping
Deadweight tonnage (DWT) is the measure of weight that a vessel can carry, including
cargo, bunkers, water and stores, expressed in tonnes.
Table 9.1
The main source of information on intercapital sea distances was The Ports of
Australia (Australian Chamber of Shipping 1993). Where optional routes are available,
the shorter distance was used.
Tables 9.2–9.3
Tables 9.2 and 9.3 provide estimates of the number of ships that visit major ports or
states and the number of vessel visits a port or state receive during a financial year.
Table 9.4
Data for international sea freight is compiled by BITRE from ABS international cargo
statistics that are provided to the ABS by Australian Customs. The classification of
cargo to bulk or non-bulk categories is an approximation based on the ship type.
Liners are assumed to be non-bulk carriers and non-liners are assumed to be bulk
carriers.
Liners carry mostly containerised, roll-on roll-off, and general cargo. They operate
on a fixed schedule between specified ports and accept cargo from all sources. Nonliner
cargo includes all dry and liquid bulk cargo as well as cargo not carried on
regular liner services.
