The 111 for-hire marine carriers earned $231 million in income, as revenues rose 9.6% to $2.9 billion in 2005. The for-hire sector recorded $2.4 billion in liabilities against $3.1 billion in assets.
Government marine carriers had $828 million in revenues and $841 million in expenses in 2005.
Note: The government sector differs significantly from the for-hire sector in terms of the availability of financial data. Many government carriers only report partial financial data and apply accounting rules that differ from the for-hire sector. Therefore, the information in this section should be used with caution, particularly in comparisons with the for-hire section.
