Statistics on transport damage

The National Museum in Oslo <URL:http://www.nasjonalmuseet.no> is in
the process of redesigning exhibition and storage space. One option
is to have an external storage facility. However, we are worried
this might cause more damage to artworks than an internal storage
space, as it will involve considerably more packing and
transportation. Does anyone have any statistics on transport damage
caused by external storage facilities? The statistics will only be
used to decide whether external storage is an option and will be
treated confidentially.
