SIC Code 4491-06 Description (6-Digit)

Lighterage is a specialized industry within the marine cargo handling sector that involves the transportation of goods and materials between ships and shore using smaller vessels known as lighters. This industry plays a crucial role in facilitating the movement of cargo from larger vessels to ports and vice versa. Lighterage services are typically used when the size or draft of a ship prevents it from docking directly at a port, or when the port lacks the necessary infrastructure to handle the cargo.
