The scope of this Directive shall also include goods:

(i)

shipped to offshore installations;

(ii)

reclaimed from the seabed and unloaded in ports.

Bunkers and stores supplied to vessels shall be excluded from the scope of this Directive;

(b)

‘seagoing vessels’ means vessels other than those which navigate exclusively in inland waters or in waters within, or closely adjacent to, sheltered waters or areas where port regulations apply.

This Directive shall not apply to fish-catching vessels, fish-processing vessels, vessels for drilling and exploration, tugs, pusher craft, research and survey vessels, dredgers, naval vessels or vessels used solely for non-commercial purposes;

(c)

‘port’ means a place having facilities for merchant ships to moor and to load or unload cargo or to disembark or embark passengers to or from vessels;

Article 3

Data collection characteristics

Member States shall collect data relating to:

(a)

cargo and passenger information;

(b)

information on the vessel.

Vessels with a gross tonnage of less than 100 may be excluded from the data collection.

The characteristics of the data collection, namely the statistical variables in each domain and the nomenclatures for their classification, as well as their periodicity of observation, are set out in Annexes I to VIII.

The data collection shall be based, in so far as possible, on available sources, limiting the burden on respondents.

The Commission shall adapt the data collection characteristics and the content of Annexes I to VIII to economic and technical developments in so far as such adaptation does not involve a substantial increase in cost for the Member States and/or in the burden on respondents.

▼M2

The Commission may adopt those measures by means of delegated acts in accordance with Article 10a and subject to the conditions of Articles 10b and 10c.

▼B

For the purposes of this Directive, the Commission shall draw up a list of ports, coded and classified according to countries and maritime coastal areas.

▼M2

The Commission may adopt those measures by means of delegated acts in accordance with Article 10a and subject to the conditions of Articles 10b and 10c.

▼B

Each Member State shall select from the list referred to in paragraph 1 any port handling more than one million tonnes of goods or recording more than 200 000 passenger movements annually.

For each port selected, detailed data are to be provided, in conformity with Annex VIII, for the domains (goods and passengers) in which that port meets the selection criterion, and with summary data, if appropriate, for the other domain.

For the ports which are not selected from the list, summary data are to be provided in conformity with Annex VIII, data set A3.

Article 5

Accuracy of statistics

The methods of collecting data shall be such that Community sea transport statistics display the precision required for the statistical data sets described in Annex VIII.

The Commission shall draw up the standards of accuracy.

▼M2

The Commission may adopt those measures by means of delegated acts in accordance with Article 10a and subject to the conditions of Articles 10b and 10c.

fitted with devices permitting its ease of handling, particularly its transfer from one mode of transport to another;

so designed as to be easy to fill and empty;

having a length of 20 feet or more.

(b)

“Ro-Ro unit” means wheeled equipment for carrying cargo, such as a truck, trailer or semi-trailer, which can be driven or towed on to a vessel. Port or ships’ trailers are included in this definition. Classifications should follow United Nations ECE Recommendation No 21 “Codes for types of cargo, packages and packaging materials”.

(c)

“Container cargo” means containers with or without cargo which are lifted on to or off the vessels which carry them by sea.

“Ro-Ro cargo” means goods, whether or not in containers, on Ro-Ro units, and Ro-Ro units which are rolled on and off the vessels which carry them by sea.

(e)

“Gross weight of goods” means the tonnage of goods carried, including packaging but excluding the tare weight of containers or Ro-Ro units.

(f)

“Deadweight (DWT)” means the difference in tonnes between the displacement of a ship on summer load-line in water with a specific gravity of 1,025 and the total weight of the ship, i.e. the displacement in tonnes of a ship without cargo, fuel, lubricating oil, ballast water, fresh water and drinking water in the tanks, usable supplies as well as passengers, crew and their possessions.

(j)

“Cruise passenger excursion” means a short visit by a cruise passenger to a tourist attraction associated with a port while retaining a cabin on board.

(k)

“Ro-Ro container cargo” means containers with or without cargo loaded on Ro-Ro units which are then rolled on and rolled off the vessels which carry them by sea.

(l)

“Shipborne port-to-port trailer” means a trailer intended to carry cargo (including containers) between two ports on Ro-Ro vessels. It is primarily designed to operate either on board of Ro-Ro vessels or in areas on land within the control of the port authority.
