This initiative seeks to understand import and export patterns through shipping freights, with the deadline for engagement set for 23rd February 2018. The procurement focuses on the shipping operations industry, with relevant activities potentially covering regions including the UK and British Overseas Territories. Interested parties are encouraged to register on the ONS e-tendering portal to express their interest. This tender presents substantial opportunities for data service providers and businesses involved in shipping operations, particularly those specialising in freight tracking and port logistics. Companies with capabilities in data analytics and visualisation are well-suited to compete, as the ONS aims to gather insights that could influence economic indicators like GDP. Participation in this tender could enhance business growth by enabling firms to showcase their data expertise and solutions to a key government agency. ## Notice The Data Science Campus (DSC) within the Office for National Statistics is planning to undertake a project looking at port traffic and cargo data. DSC want to explore UK's imports and exports based on shipping freights and investigate if this can be used as GDP indicators or nowcast (forecast) international trade. In addition DSC wants to investigate the traffic around UK's major ports, the delays happening in specific ports and situations and possible under or over utilisation. In order to do this DSC are looking to access the following data: * freight ships arriving at and departing from UK main ports; * the origin and destination of the ship; * the type of cargo the ship is carrying; * information about the route the ship followed and frequent interval location to identify situations where the ship stayed still for a long time.
