Statistical Terms Glossary

A freight-carrying unit optimised to road vehicle dimensions and fitted with handling devices for transfer between modes, usually road/rail. Such units were not originally designed to be stacked when full or top-lift ed. Many units now can be, although not to the same extent as containers. The main feature distinguishing them from containers is that they are optimised to road vehicle dimensions. Such unit would need UIC approval to be used on rail. Some swap bodies are equipped with folding legs on which the unit stands when not on the vehicle.

The outlay (purchases and own account production) of road transport enterprises on additions of new and used capital goods (commodities) to their stocks of fixed capital assets less their net sales of similar second-hand and scrapped goods.

The outlay (purchases and own account production) of railway enterprises on additions of new and used capital goods (commodities) to their stocks of fixed capital assets less their net sales of similar second-hand and scrapped goods.

The outlay (purchases and own account production) of IWT enterprises on additions of new and used capital goods (commodities) added to their stocks of fixed capital assets minus their net sales of similar second-hand and scrapped goods.

The outlay (purchases and own account production) of oil pipeline transport enterprises on additions of new and used capital goods (commodities) to their stocks of fixed capital assets less their net sales of similar second-hand and scrapped goods.

The outlay (purchases and own account production) of sea transport enterprises on additions of new and used capital goods (commodities) added to their stocks of fixed capital assets minus their net sales of similar second-hand and scrapped goods.

All GHG emissions from combusting the fuel used to power the vehicle.

The vehicles of cylindrical body (tanker) used for transporting liquid measures in (Liter) and that used for transporting solid materials ex. (asphalt and cement measures in ton).

Wagon designed for the bulk transport of liquids or gases.

Ship designed with a single deck and an arrangement of integral or independent tanks specifically for the bulk carriage of liquid cargo.
Ship designed with a single deck and an arrangement of integral or independent tanks specifically for the bulk carriage of liquid cargo.

All greenhouse gases emissions from combusting the fuel used to power the vehicle.

The tare weight of a container is included in the total weight of the containerized goods transported, also called the gross-gross weight of goods. The gross weight of containerized goods transported can be calculated by deducting the tare weight of the container from the gross-gross weight. If information about the tare weight is missing, then it may be estimated using the averages below:
- 20-foot long ISO container: 2.3 tonnes;
- 40-foot long ISO container: 3.7 tonnes;
- Over 20-feet and under 40-feet long ISO container: 3.0 tonnes;
- Over 40-feet long ISO container: 4.7 tonnes.

Licensed passenger car for hire with driver without predetermined routes. The method of hire is normally:
- Flagging down on the street;
- Picking up at a designated taxi rank;
- Telephoning or using other electronic means for collection.

Total of terminating and transfer passengers.

Passengers starting or ending their trip at the designated airport.

A statistical unit based on a 20-foot long ISO container (6.10 m) to provide a standardized measure of containers of various capacities and for describing the capacity of container transport carrier or terminals. Examples:
- One 20-foot long ISO container equals 1 TEU;
- One 40-foot long ISO container equals 2 TEU;
- One container between 20 and 40-foot long equals 1.50 TEU;
- One container of more than 40-foot long equals 2.25 TEU.

TEU-kilometres performed expressed as a percentage of TEU kilometres offered.

TEU-kilometres performed expressed as a percentage of TEU-kilometres offered.

Unit of measurement of container transport which represents the transport of one TEU by road over one kilometre.

TEU-kilometres performed is calculated as the sum over all journeys of the product of the total number of TEUs carried and the port-to-port distance for each journey.

Unit of measurement representing the movement of one TEU over one kilometre.

The TEU-kilometres offered is determined by the TEU carrying capacity of the means of transport and the origin-to-destination kilometres distance for all journeys.
Note: The TEU carrying capacity will be the stated capacity recorded in the register of the classification society.

TEU-kilometres performed is calculated as the sum of the product of the total TEUs carried and the origin-to-destination kilometres for all journeys.

Unit for measuring the goods transport by containers equivalent to one TEU transported over a distance of one kilometre.

The TEUs on board a means of transport on arrival or departure.

The locomotives that pull passenger cars and goods

Intended number of passengers transferred to mileage by trains (the energy obtained from passenger transport)(Number of passengers transported x Kilometers travelled by trains and unit of measurement (passenger. Km).
