This division includes the transport of passengers or freight over water, whether scheduled or not. Also included is the operation of towing or pushing boats, excursion, cruise or sightseeing boats, ferries, water taxis etc. Although the location is an indicator for the separation between sea and inland water transport, the deciding factor is the type of vessel used. All transport on sea-going vessels is classified in group 501, while transport using other vessels is classified in group 502.
This division excludes restaurant and bar activities on board ships (see class 5610, 5630), if carried out by separate units.
