Which code does this activity belong in?
Inland water transportation on lakes, rivers, and intracoastal waterways is classified in this code, while similar services operating on the Great Lakes System are classified in Deep Sea, Coastal, and Great Lakes Water Transportation. The distinction turns on the geographic location of the waterway; establishments serving the Great Lakes are excluded from this code regardless of whether their operations otherwise resemble inland water transportation on other bodies of water.
