DfT publishes monthly UK Ship Register statistics covering January 2015 to June 2027

The UK Department for Transport has published a new release, Official Statistics: UK Ship Register Statistics: June 2027, dated 3 September 2026. The bulletin is a monthly update that records ships joining and leaving the UK Ship Register and presents a continuous dataset covering January 2015 through to June 2027.

The release presents the register as a monthly time series rather than a standalone snapshot. The Department for Transport describes the item as a monthly update to the UK Ship Register statistics, focused specifically on movements onto and off the register.

The statistics cover a clearly defined period, with the dataset extending from January 2015 to June 2027. That span allows the figures to be examined on a month-by-month basis across more than a twelve-year window.

The bulletin is part of the Department for Transport’s routine statistical outputs that document changes in the national register. The published document is titled Official Statistics: UK Ship Register Statistics: June 2027 and is presented as the departmental monthly update.

The published material concentrates on the inflow and outflow of vessels to the UK Ship Register. The monthly update records when ships join and when they leave the register, and the accompanying dataset covers the period from January 2015 to June 2027.

Use and continuity

The Department’s monthly cadence means the series can be used to track register activity over time. Readers of the release are offered a longitudinal view of register movements across the January 2015–June 2027 interval.

The release date for this particular item is 3 September 2026, according to the Department for Transport entry. The title of the bulletin uses the reference month June 2027 while the published date is 3 September 2026, and both details are stated in the Department for Transport notice.
