Statistic parameters
The figures refer only to passages under the Great Belt Bridge. However, in these statistics passages through the Great Belt are defined based on passage through the area from Sjællands Rev to slightly south of Omø (VTS area). In the statistics prior to 2007 the area is defined as being from Fyns Hoved to slightly south of Omø.
Vessels under 50 gross register tons (GRT) have not been registered, and are therefore not included in the statistics.
