Which code does this activity belong in?
Inland water freight transportation establishments provide cargo services on inland waterways excluding the Great Lakes System. The boundary between this code and inland water passenger transportation lies in the type of service provided: establishments primarily engaged in transporting cargo are classified here, while those primarily engaged in transporting passengers are classified in inland water passenger transportation. Some establishments may provide both services, and classification depends on which activity is primary.
