Water transport

NACE v2.0 Code: H50

About water transport

NACE code 50 covers the water transport industry, which plays a vital role in the global economy by facilitating the movement of goods and people across oceans, seas, and inland waterways. This industry is responsible for the operation of ships, boats, and other vessels for the transportation of passengers and freight, making it a crucial component of international trade and logistics.

Production process

The water transport industry utilizes a range of production techniques to ensure the safe and efficient movement of vessels. This includes the operation and maintenance of various types of ships, such as cargo ships, tankers, and passenger vessels, as well as the management of port and harbor facilities. Key processes involve route planning, navigation, cargo loading and unloading, and vessel maintenance and repair.

Production inputs

The water transport industry requires a significant amount of inputs to support its operations. These include specialized vessels, such as container ships, bulk carriers, and cruise ships, as well as fuel, lubricants, and other consumables. Additionally, the industry relies on port infrastructure, including docks, cranes, and storage facilities, as well as skilled personnel, such as captains, engineers, and deck crew, to ensure the smooth operation of maritime transportation.

Production outputs

The primary output of the water transport industry is the movement of goods and people across waterways. The industry's services are consumed by a wide range of other NACE codes, including 46 Wholesale trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles, 49 Land transport and transport via pipelines, and 52 Warehousing and support activities for transportation, as well as the tourism industry through the provision of passenger transport services.
