(1) Excludes vessels of unknown age.
(2) Year on year tonnage comparisons should be made with caution, since these figures take no account of the phased replacement of GRT with GT during the period 1996-2003. See explanation in Section 2.2 Size of the Scottish Fleet for further details.
(3) Engine power in years before 2005 have been underestimated. See explanation in Section 2.2 Size of the Scottish Fleet for further details.
