Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much freight has been transported on (a) Hull-Zeebrugge and (b) Hull-Rotterdam roll-on roll-off ferries in each month between December 2019 and April 2020.

The data requested is not currently held by the Department for Transport.

UK port freight data is collected by the Department on a quarterly basis. Statistics on overall tonnage and units by port for the first quarter of 2020 (January to March) will be published on 10 June 2020.

Data on port to country routes, such as Hull-Netherlands, are published annually, 2019 data will be published in Summer 2020 and 2020 data will be published in 2021. Data on specific port to port routes, such as Hull–Zeebrugge, are collected on an annual basis but are not disclosed as the release of such information would be likely to prejudice commercial interests.
