Businesses in sea and coastal water transport move passengers, vehicles and goods by vessel on domestic coastal routes and between ports. Passenger services may include scheduled ferries, links to islands, water taxis, sightseeing trips and privately chartered boats. Depending on the operator, vessels can carry foot passengers, cars, bicycles or larger vehicles, and may provide seating, accessibility facilities and space for luggage. Freight operators transport cargo such as containers, bulk materials, fuel, vehicles or supplies for coastal communities. Services can involve scheduled sailings, dedicated cargo voyages, vessel hire and the movement of goods between ships, ports and onward road or rail transport. Some businesses specialise in particular vessel types or cargoes, while others combine freight and passenger operations. Journeys, capacity and facilities vary by vessel and route.
