Renting and leasing of water transport equipment
This sector includes renting and leasing of marine transport equipment, such as commercial boats, without an operator. This excludes renting of pleasure boats, water-transport equipment with an operator and financial leasing. Scottish Annual Business Statistics provides this data. See Annex for more information.
In 2020, renting and leasing of water transport equipment generated £9 million in GVA. This is 0.01% of the Scottish economy and 0.2% of the marine economy GVA.
The renting and leasing industry employed 100 people, 0.004% of Scottish employment and 0.1% of marine economy employment.
From 2019 to 2020, the renting and leasing industry GVA decreased by 42%. But, the longer term GVA trend, from 2011 to 2020, increased by 8%.
From 2011 to 2020, employment was unchanged. Low numbers mean small changes can generate large percentage differences between years. Over the last ten years, employment was between 100 or 200 people. This is at the limit of the accuracy of the Scottish Annual Business Statistics survey figures.
A geographic breakdown of renting and leasing is not available.
