In South America Brazil stands out with port calls up 223 from 2006 to 2007 and a corresponding increase in arrived GRT of 11 million tonnes, making for growth rates of 19 and 27 per cent respectively.

The largest reduction in port calls by Norwegian ships can be found in Europe. Port calls went down from 46 595 in 2006 to 44 800 in 2007, a reduction of 4 per cent. Corresponding reduction in arrived GRT was 3 per cent, from 523 million GRT in 2006 to 509 million GRT in 2007. North America saw port calls and arrived GRT by Norwegian ships fall by 7 and 8 per cent, from 7 391 port calls and 245 million GRT in 2006 to 6 877 port calls and 227 million GRT in 2007.

Vessel type and classification of vessel types

Starting in 2007 Statistics Norway has implemented the use of ”Classification of type of vessel 2008” For tankers the change is insignificant while ships previously classified under dry cargo now can be found within bulk and general cargo. The remaining vessel types are classified in more detail. More on this in ” About the statistics ”.
