The total number of ship visits to major UK ports increased by 9% in the week to 12 October 2025, compared with the previous week, returning to normal levels after Storm Amy 🚢

Visits remained broadly unchanged when compared with the equivalent week of 2024.

We've just released our latest analytical article 'Use of preferential tariffs by UK businesses for imports of goods: 2012 to 2023'
Using microdata to explore how the uptake of preferential tariffs differs across businesses characteristics, find out more👇

We’ve developed a tool using multi-modal generative AI to process and classify images of receipts. Our aim is to streamline the processing of c. 60,000 records each year, leading to improvements in the quality and timeliness of economic statistics.👇

[Data Science Campus @DataSciCampus]

We have released open source code to do this on GitHub today, enabling people to both set up and customise their own app. We hope this will support colleagues in the public sector exploring the practical applications of multi-modal generative AI👇

@escoe Improving wellbeing across the UK is at the core of the policy agenda. The @ESCoE paper examines the different wellbeing metrics, their relationships, how their trends change over time, and the factors driving wellbeing in the UK and the regions 👇

[Data Science Campus @DataSciCampus]

Are you interested in what factors drives wellbeing in the UK and the regions and how the trend has changed over time? Our senior data scientist Silvia Lui has coauthored an @ESCoE blog on Measuring Wellbeing in the UK. To read the blog👇

We’ve released our annual revisions of the UK’s GDP covering the period up to 2022. As more data have become available, we’ve been able to refine our initial estimates and update our assumptions about the relative size of each sector since the pandemic.

The toolkit is available as a Python package/Docker image to maximise reproducibility and reuse
We hope that the public and other organisations can collaborate/build on this toolkit, to help improve the comparability and timeliness of transport statistics
https://t.co/JDSdA6mc8B

[Data Science Campus @DataSciCampus]

Ever wondered how transport where you live compares with other places? We have built an open-source toolkit for measuring the performance of transport networks. It can be applied throughout the UK and internationally to generate comparable insights 👇
https://t.co/iZOGP4QMr6

[Data Science Campus @DataSciCampus]

Using this toolkit we've constructed experimental public transit performance statistics for ~50 urban centres across GB and France
Check out these data on the ONS Geography Portal and our interactive visualisation #transport #geospatial #datascience
