1. Figures include charter and contract carryings (see table 10.14).
2. This figure only covers the routes of Mallaig to the smaller isles since the freight is lifted by crane onto the vessels rather than transported by lorry onto the ferry.
3. Financial year beginning 1 April of year.
4. Revenue from users and subsidy may be subject to amendment following annual audit.
5. Calendar year.
6. In 2001 P & O's loose fright operations were taken over by a separate company called, Northwards, which did not provide the relevant information.
7. P & O Scottish Ferries stopped operating its services on 30 September 2002.
8. Northlink Ferries Ltd started operating its service on 6 July 2006, from NorthLink Orkney & Shetland Ferries Ltd.
9. Only coaches and mini-buses are included under this heading for 2003.
10. For 2006 figures relate to the financial year beginning 1 April. Previous years covered the period 1 October to 30 September.
11. The figures published previously for 2003 to 2005 were wrong. Corrected figures for 2003 and 2004 are not readily available.
12. The number of vehicles are no longer available due to a change in the method of collecting the data.
