EST-MERCHANT-FLEET-BUILT

Data are presented in gross tonnage (GT) and refer to ship tonnage deliveries by shipyards in the economy during the year indicated. The figures cover seagoing propelled merchant ships of 100 gross tons (GT) and above, excluding inland waterway vessels, fishing vessels, military vessels, yachts, and offshore fixed and mobile platforms and barges (with the exception of floating production, storage and offloading vessels [FSPO] and drillships). The value 0 is reported for countries without shipbuilding observed for a given year. This is in order to distinguish countries where shipbuilding is assessed to be zero for some years, from countries without shipbuilding at any point of the time series.
