The information requested by the Deputy is attached in tabular form, as requested. The figures in the table include both deep sea containers and roll on-roll off freight units.
Containers/freight units may contain several consignments of interest to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, each requiring separate controls, thus the number of controls is considerably higher than the number of containers. The number of controls is included in brackets in the table.
