Containerisation rate by commodity chapter, imports

tt008.commodity.containerisation-import reported

The same rate at HS2 commodity level, pooled across the eleven gateway ports. Mineral fuel runs about 1%, iron and steel about 19%, meat and cereals near 100%. Chapters with under 50,000 tonnes in a month are excluded as too thin to carry a ratio.

COVERAGE INCOMPLETE. The 2010-2023 backfill is still loading, so the archive holds twelve months for 2024 and 2025 but only a partial 2010. Any comparison across years today weighs one loaded month against twelve — an apparent rise from 38% to 63% on import containerisation is currently indistinguishable from that loading artifact. Lift when every month from 2010-01 to the last complete month is present, verified by a per-year month count, not by row totals.
