In this report, shipping includes vessels greater than 50 metres in overall length, including large recreational or commercial superyachts and cruise ships. Shipping also includes vessels carrying specialised products regardless of length, such as chemical or liquified gas carriers and oil tankers. While cruise ships are used in commercial marine tourism (Section 5.2), their size and management are more aligned to shipping in this chapter. Shipping outside the Region does not form part of this assessment unless relevant, such as where ships enter the northern part of the Region.
