Scotland's Marine Economic Statistics 2022
Statistics on the economic contributions of Scotland’s marine sectors. Includes a time series of approximate Gross Value Added (aGVA), turnover and employment for industrial categories defined as part of the marine sector.
This sector includes renting and leasing of marine transport equipment, such as commercial boats, without an operator. This excludes renting of pleasure boats, water-transport equipment with an operator and financial leasing. Scottish Annual Business Statistics provides this data. See Data and Methodology for more information.
In 2022, renting and leasing of water transport equipment generated £15 million in aGVA. This is 0.01% of the Scottish economy and 0.3% of the marine economy aGVA.
The renting and leasing industry employed 100 people, 0.004% of Scottish employment and 0.1% of marine economy employment.
From 2021 to 2022, the renting and leasing industry aGVA increased by 57%. The longer term aGVA trend, from 2013 to 2022, increased by 98%.
From 2013 to 2022, employment was unchanged. Low numbers mean small changes can generate large percentage differences between years. Over the last ten years, employment was between 100 or 200 people. This is at the limit of the accuracy of the Scottish Annual Business Statistics survey figures.
A geographic breakdown of renting and leasing is not available.
