Graph and Table detailing key statistics about Major Flag States in the Shipping Industry
Shipping and World Trade: World Seaborne Trade

Environmental Performance: Reduction in the Quantity of Spilled Oil
The amount of oil spilled by ships varies from year to year and figures for a particular year can be distorted by a single large incident. However, in general terms, shipping has shown a marked downward trend in the amount of oil spilled each year.
Environmental Performance: Comparison of CO2 Emissions by Different Modes of Transport
The shipping industry is a small contributor to the total volume of atmospheric emissions compared to road vehicles and air transport (see graph below) as well as public utilities such as power stations, and atmospheric pollution from ships has reduced in the last decade.
