Utilization of capacity on trips with and without cargo was 62.6 per cent, compared to 59.1 per cent 1st quarter 1999. In assessing capacity utilization it must be taken into account that the degree of utilization for a number of goods is limited by volume and not by weight. If a correction is made for volume goods, capacity utilization increased by 3 percentage points to 65.6 per cent.
