OECD Maritime Transport Costs (access via OECDiLibrary): This comparative table includes statistics on bilateral maritime transport costs for 43 importing countries including EU15 countries as a custom union and 218 countries of origin at the detailed commodity 6 digit level of the Harmonised System 1988 (HS 1988). The table is further broken down by type of goods (agriculture, raw materials, crude oil, manufacturing), commodity (oil, seed, vegetable, organic chemicals), transport cost measures (ad valorem transport, unit transport cost) and transport mode (containers, dirty bulk). Data are available from 1991 onwards.
