The information is colleted automatically from the ports administrative system (PORTwin), and send to Statistics Norway by secure web portal for reporting of data.
Mathematical and logic controls are used to check for recording errors or other obvious errors in data. The data are checked against reports for last year. The respondent is contacted in the event of partial non-response or other significant errors.
When a port fail to deliver data in sufficient time before publishing, estimation of the data will be done. The estimated amount of cargo is based on the development to the other ports from last quarter.

From and including the yearly of 2016 the code NO88K is split into two separate codes
- NO88N - Northern Norway, unspecified
- NO88S - South Norway, unspecified.
