Marine Cargo Handling

Establishments in the Marine Cargo Handling industry primarily engage in the loading and unloading of cargo from ships. This industry provides services such as stevedoring, which involves the physical handling of goods, and may include the operation of cranes and other equipment to facilitate the transfer of cargo between ships and docks. The defining characteristic of this industry is its focus on the movement and management of cargo at marine terminals, distinguishing it from related industries that may focus on warehousing, freight forwarding, or inland transportation.
