Frequently asked questions

I transport containers and goods by sea along the coast — is the code 50.20.00 or the passenger one?
It is 50.20.00. The transport of goods on the open sea and in coastal waters, both scheduled and non-scheduled, falls here. If instead people rather than cargo are on board, the correct code is 50.10.00.
I tow barges and oil platforms at sea — does that fall under 50.20.00 or is it a port service?
It falls under 50.20.00. The transport of barges and platforms by tug or pusher craft is listed under this heading. Services carried out inside the port, such as cargo handling, fall instead under 52.24.20.
I ferry unaccompanied vehicles by sea — is that freight transport 50.20.00 or passenger transport?
It is 50.20.00. The ferrying of unaccompanied vehicles falls under sea freight transport. When the vehicles travel with the driver on board, the activity becomes passenger transport 50.10.00.
