The latest information available is shown below. | Inward traffic at Stranraer(thousands of vehicles) | Inward traffic at Cairnryan(thousands of vehicles)
| Road goodsVehicles | Unaccompanied trailers | Total | Road goods vehicles | Unaccompanied trailers | Total
1994 | 41 | 23 | 64 | 33 | 20 | 54
1995 | 42 | 24 | 66 | 37 | 22 | 59
1996 | 32 | 21 | 53 | 46 | 23 | 69
1997 | 42 | 24 | 66 | 43 | 26 | 70

These figures cover :(a) road goods vehicles, not all of which are classified as heavy goods vehicles; and (b) trailers that were unaccompanied on the ferry crossing (these are attached to a cab at the dockside and are therefore classified as goods vehicles leaving the port).The figures have been rounded to the nearest thousand, so totals may differ slightly from the sum of their components.
