EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1                Key Findings
During the review period, total volume of trade handled by the UK commercial port industry fluctuated. However, MSI estimate a marginal increase took place in the volume of trade handled in 2002.
Trade handled by commercial ports in England accounted for 65 percent of trade in 2002. However, the East Coast of Scotland represented the most important trade region. MSI estimate that the East Coast of Scotland handled some 102.7 million tonnes in 2002, some 18 percent of the UK total. However, the port of Grimsby & Immingham has been the most important port during the latter stages of the review period.
Liquid bulk has accounted for the largest proportion of trade handled during the review period. Indeed, MSI estimate that liquid bulk represented 48 percent of trade in 2002.
MSI have identified the following factors affecting investment in the UK commercial port industry:
·      industry competition
·      port capacity
·      modernisation
·      diversity of trade
·      end user requirements
·      regulation
·      government targets and transport policies
The following diagram summarises the recent and forecast capital expenditure by the UK commercial port industry between 1998 and 2007.
