Surveys on the freight international transport

Statistical sample survey on the international freight transport 2016-2019

TRT has been commissioned by the Banca d’Italia (Italian Central Bank) to carry out a four-year survey on the international freight transport, in order to:

 identify the unit costs of different transport modes for imports and exports;
 identify the components of ancillary costs;
 show in a matrix the abroad goods exchange;
 define the market share held by Italian actors in the maritime, air and rail transport sectors;
 estimate the turnover made by Italian ship-owners abroad.
This project follows similar surveys managed by TRT since 1998, whose results are used by Banca d’Italia to estimate the Balance of Payments for the corresponding years.
