4. These figures relate to major ports only (please see the notes on the Sources of the statistics). There were seven major ports in 1996; eight in 1997 and 1998; nine in 1999; and eleven in 2000 onwards
5. Figures for tonne-kilometres are not available for imports (and, in any case, would not be relevant to Scottish transport statistics).
