What do navigation companies do?
Navigation companies run cargo ships, ferries, river and lake passenger services and excursion boats, carrying freight, vehicles and travellers on fixed lines or under charter. Their customers are shippers, commuters, tourists and island communities, and many routes are operated under licences or public service contracts.
Our data comes from the business registers of 49 countries. SIC files navigation companies under SIC code 3812 (search, detection, navigation, guidance, aeronautical, and nautical systems and instruments), but the registers of the world record few of them there, so we select them on the CompanyData industry label for gps and car navigation system companies.
