Statistical parameters
The figures  do not only indicate the crossings under the Storebælt Bridge. In these statistics, crossings through the Storebælt are defined by crossings through the area from Zealand’s Rev to just south of Omø (VTS area). In the statistics from before 2007, the area is defined by Fyns Hoved to just south of Omø.

Vessels under 50 gross tonnes (GT) have not been registered and are therefore not included in the statistics.
