Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 24 November 2017 to Question 113639, on shipping: ownership, how many of the vessels on each of the three routes in the table are in company groups which qualify for the Tonnage Tax scheme.

It is not possible to identify which companies qualify for the Tonnage Tax scheme from the information held by the department.

For example, information on whether a company operates ships which are strategically and commercially managed in the UK, which is a requirement to be a qualifying company for the Tonnage Tax scheme, is not held for companies not currently part of the scheme.
