Formally, it is the executive office of the UK Statistics Authority, a non-Ministerial Department established by the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007. It is responsible for collecting and publishing statistics related to the economy, population, and society at national, regional and local levels. ONS plays a leading role in national and international good practice in the production of official statistics. Introduction The Office for National Statistics has a requirement for the Provision of UK Shipping Data. This data will be used to publish statistics on the provision of shipping services and UK-based traders, involved in the shipping industry. These aggregated statistics feed into the calculation of Balance of Payments transactions; supply aggregate UK trade in shipping services to Eurostat in accordance with Balance of Payments Regulations; Publish aggregate trade in goods statistics on the import/export of ships; and carry out research and quality assurance work within Government to inform trade policy. The ONS requires the provision of data, preferably monthly but as a minimum quarterly. This should include historic data as well as data for the latest time periods. The data required can be broken into four categories: 1. Sale and Purchase of UK Owned Ships 2. Bareboat Chartering Arrangements where one Party is a UK Entity 3. Services Purchased in UK Ports by Non-UK Ships 4. Sea Freight Data See annex for more detail. The types of organisations that should consider contacting us: Organisations who can provide all the data we require. What can a contract with ONS offer? An opportunity to work with a world class statistics organisation, to create better and more timely statistics to be used by all for the benefit of the public good. There is a possibility for this work to be funded if all requirements are met by the provider.
