Statistical data set: Sea passenger statistics: data tables (SPAS)

class=gem-c-govspeak govuk-govspeak gem-c-govspeak--direction-ltr govuk-!-margin-bottom-0> Revision details

Following the discovery of some duplicate figures in our raw data affecting the number of passengers that travelled on cruise and long sea journeys, revisions were made to the 2023 and 2021 figures in the latest Sea passenger statistics.

The revision made to the cruise and long sea passenger figures has had a minor effect on the total number of sea passengers for 2023 and 2021. This change has not affected the overall trends. Tables SPAS0101, SPAS0107 and SPAS0201 and the web release have been updated with the revised figures and charts.

Passenger vehicle numbers are available in the port freight data collection. See data tables with a cargo breakdown for this information (for example, tables PORT0201 to PORT0203).
