Local KAUs and enterprises

1705 Local KAUs and 1 677 enterprises were operating within water transport in 2001. Figures on the enterprise level will usually deviate somewhat from figures compiled on the local KAU level. This is due to the fact that the enterprises are registered in the industry subclass that comprises the main part of the activity of the enterprise, and therefore may be registered in a different industry than some of the local KAUs.
