Statistical Terms Glossary

A railway vehicle with a tilting system designed to have an operating speed of 200 km/h or above on upgraded high speed lines.

The vehicles used for moving sand and small stone weigh about ( 3 - 24 tons).

Intended amount of cargo train mileage The amount of cargo x claimed mileage trains and unit of measure (ton. km)

Unit of measurement of goods transport which represents the transport of one tonne by road over one kilometre.

A tonne-kilometre is offered when one tonne of carrying capacity in a merchant ship is sailed over one kilometre. Tonne-kilometres offered are equal to the cargo carrying capacity of the vessel multiplied by the port-to-port distance for all journeys. Transport in barges is included.

Unit of measure representing the movement of one tonne available in a wagon when performing services for which it is primarily intended over one kilometre.

Unit of measurement of energy consumption : 1 TOE = 0.041868 TJ.
Conversion factors adopted by the International Energy Agency (IEA) for 1991 are the following:
-- Motor gasoline 1.070
-- Gas/diesel oil 1.035
-- Liquefied petroleum gas 1.130
-- Natural gas 0.917
The conversion factor used by the IEA for electricity is: 1 TWh = 0.086 Mtoe.

Unit of measure representing the movement of one tonne of cargo in a merchant ship over one kilometre.

Unit of measure of goods transport which represents the transport of one tonne by sea over one kilometre.

Unit of measurement representing the transport of one tonne of freight (including packaging and tare weights of intermodal transport units) by a given mode of transport (road, rail, air, sea, inland waterways, pipeline, etc.) over a distance of one kilometre.

Unit of measurement representing the movement of one tonne of payload available in an aircraft when performing services for which it is primarily intended over one kilometre.

Unit of measure of goods transport which represents the transport of one tonne by inland waterways over one kilometre.

Unit of measurement of goods transport which represents the transport of one tonne by inland waterways over one kilometre.

Unit of measure of transport which represents transport of one tonne of goods by oil pipeline over one kilometre.

Unit of measurement of transport which represents transport of one tonne of goods by pipeline over one kilometre.

Unit of measure of goods transport which represents the transport of one tonne of goods by rail over a distance of one kilometre.

Unit of measure of goods transport which represents the transport of one tonne by road over one kilometre.

Unit of measure representing the movement of one tonne available in an inland waterways transport (IWT) freight vessel when performing the services for which it is primarily intended over one kilometre.

Unit of measure representing the movement of one tonne available in a road goods vehicle when performing services for which it is primarily intended over one kilometre.

Unit of measure representing the movement of one tonne of carrying capacity in a seagoing vessel over one kilometre.

Unit of measure representing the transport capacity of oil pipeline measured by the movement over one kilometre of a tonne of goods that can be transported by oil pipeline during the given period.

The tonne-kilometres offered is determined by the cargo carrying capacity authorized in a means of transport (in tonnes) and the origin-to-destination kilometres for all journeys.

The tonne-kilometres performed is determined by the total tonnes of load carried in a means of transport and the origin-to-destination kilometres for all journeys.

Tonnes of cargo on board a means of transport on arrival or departure.

The maximum loading capacity of the ship in (tons).

The sum of the total freight and mail, both loaded and unloaded, at the reporting airport. All trucking operations using an air waybill should be excluded.
Note: Freight and mail together are sometimes referred to as cargo.

The company did not have any tourist laterals but preparing special laterals for tourist like Adhamia anchorage

Inland waterway freight vessel designed to be towed which does not have its own means of mechanical propulsion.

Dumb barge for the bulk transport of liquids or gases.

A pair of rails over which rail borne vehicles can run maintained by an infrastructure manager. Metro, tram and light rail urban lines are excluded.
