| What does 'transport work intensity' represent in the context of maritime trade? | the value of the trade carried and, at the same time, the distance travelled by a unit of maritime cargo | This growth was driven by longer-haul voyages across all segments, prompted by disruptions due to the war in Ukraine, the disruptions in the Red Sea and reduced water levels in the Panama Canal, which led to longer ship journeys and distances. Average distances travelled per ton of cargo have been increasing since 2005, with the average voyage estimated at 4,675 miles in 2000 and 5,186 miles in 2024. This trend began even before recent disruptions. Maritime trade in ton-miles measures “maritime transport work”, that is, how far one unit of maritime cargo in tons travels from origin to destination and “transport work intensity” (TWI) measure the value of the trade carried and, at the same time, the distance travelled by a unit of maritime cargo. The maritime trade is largely dictated by developments in the world economy, including with regard to GDP and merchandise trade. | 649 | definition | 1.000 | https://shipmin.gov.in/sites/default/files/Revised%20Basic%20Port%20Statistics%20of%20India%202023-24%20%281%29.pdf | Maritime trade in ton-miles measures “maritime transport work”, that is, how far one unit of maritime cargo in tons travels from origin to destination and “transport work intensity” (TWI) measure the value of the trade carried and, at the same time, the distance travelled by a unit of maritime cargo. |
| What does Gross Registered Tonnage (GRT) refer to? | the weight of the volume occupied by the closed-in-spaces of a ship taking 100 cubic feet of such closed-in-spaces as equivalent to one vessels ton | DEFINITIONS OF TERMS USED 1. Load Line Outer line on the body of a ship upto which she submerges in water with safety. It varies according to the seasons and waters in which she plies. 2. Draft The depth necessary to submerge a ship to their load line. 3. Dead Weight Tonnage(DWT) It is the number of tons of (2240 pounds) stores, fuel and cargo that a ship can transport. This presents the actual carrying capacity of a ship. 4. Gross Registered Tonnage (GRT) It applies to the vessels and not to cargo. It is the weight of the volume occupied by the closed-in-spaces of a ship taking 100 cubic feet of such closed-in-spaces as equivalent to one vessels ton. It thus refers to the cubic capacity of the vessels. 5. Net Registered Tonnage (NRT) It refers to the earning space capacity of a ship available for the storage of cargo and accommodation of passengers. | 511 | definition | 1.000 | https://shipmin.gov.in/sites/default/files/Revised%20Basic%20Port%20Statistics%20of%20India%202023-24%20%281%29.pdf | It is the weight of the volume occupied by the closed-in-spaces of a ship taking 100 cubic feet of such closed-in-spaces as equivalent to one vessels ton. |
