shipment ... by ship

0Hi, 02br
02br
00I'm struggling with a table which shows (among other data) the 01b00amount02b00 01b00of goods02b00 arrived in/departed from an island by sea.02br
02br
00Could somebody help me find the correct titles for these two columns? I've come up with:02br
02br
01i00National by ship (embark/outbound/departure) 02i00or 01i00National departure by ship02i02br
01i00National by ship (disembark/outbound/arrive)02i00 or 01i00National arrival by ship 02i02br
02br
00but I don't find any of them natural, and I suspect some are incorrect.02br
02br
00NOTES:02br
02br
001. I need to keep both "national" and "ship" or "sea", because other columns deal with international freight transport and other modes of travel02br
02br
002. are "departure" and "arrival" used only for passenger transport?02br
02br
00Thank you in advance!0-

01font00Actually, I had thought about import/export, but I'm not sure whether I can use "domestic import" and "domestic export" (as opposed to international i/e). 02br
00It might be because of inteference of my mother tongue, but import\export makes me think of international shipments. 02font00Yes, I know what

10Yes, I know what you mean. But they seem like pretty suitable, and simple, words. You might clarify by saying 'Island imports / Island exports', or just add a little clarification as a footnote. I don't think it would be hard for the reader to grasp your meaning.12br
