Chapter 5 • Australian trading fleet CHAPTER 5 Australian trading fleet Overview This chapter shows various attributes of the Australian trading fleet from 2001–02 to 2010–11, which include: the number of ships in different types of trading fleet, the total deadweight tonnage, the total gross tonnage, and the age distribution of ships in the trading fleet. This chapter also reports the number of ships in the Australian trading fleet for the latest financial year and summarises their activities. Australian trading fleet statistics are based on cargo ships that are owned or operated by Australian companies as at the end of the financial year. The trading fleet includes ships that carried cargo, or both cargo and passengers, but excludes ships that carried passengers only. Cargo ships in the trading fleet must have called at an Australian port during the financial year; ships that operated internationally without calling at any Australian port in the financial year are excluded. Ships not owned nor operated by any Australian companies, even if they traded in Australian waters, and ships with gross tonnage smaller than 150 GT (gross tonnage), are excluded in analysis in this chapter. Sub-categories of the trading fleet include: • “Major trading fleet”: Ships in the Australian trading fleet that have deadweight tonnage greater than or equal to 2 000 tonnes. • “Minor trading fleet”: Ships in the Australian trading fleet that have deadweight tonnage less than 2 000 tonnes. • “Coastal trading fleet”: Ships in the Australian trading fleet for which 80 per cent or more of their voyages called at an Australian port. • “International trading fleet”: Ships in the Australian trading fleet for which more than 20 per cent of their voyages called at an overseas port. • “Australian registered”: Ships in the trading fleet that have an Australian flag. • “Overseas registered”: Ships in the trading fleet that have foreign flags. • 57 •
BITRE • Australian sea freight 2010–11 Data source Analysis of the Australian trading fleet is based on the data obtained from Lloyd’s List Intelligence (LLI). The latest version of ship movement data obtained from LLI has been updated by LLI recently, and results reported for financial years since 2006–07 may thus differ from those in past publications. Information sourced from various shipping companies, via personal communications, has also been used in the analysis of the trading fleet. Figures for “Australian registered ships with Coasting Trade Licenses” are based on data obtained from the Department of Infrastructure and Transport’s register of Coasting Trade Licenses. Major ships are ships that have deadweight tonnage greater than or equal to 2 000 tonnes, or gross tonnage greater than or equal to 2 000 GT. • 58 •
