FAQ

What work fits NAICS 483113?
  • Time-charter of a general-cargo coaster to move palletized equipment between two coastal ports with vessel, crew, and voyage planning included.
  • Barge transport of bulk liquid or bulk dry cargo between coastal terminals or Great Lakes ports under a charter or contract of carriage.
  • Container feeder service that transfers export or import containers between a deepwater port and regional coastal ports for landside distribution.
  • Roll-on/roll-off vessel service for movement of vehicles or wheeled equipment between domestic coastal ports with Ro-Ro stowage and lashing provided by the operator.
When is NAICS 483113 a weak fit?
  • Deep-sea international liner shipping where the missing element is international ocean transit and foreign port calls rather than domestic coastal or Great Lakes trade.
  • Inland river towing and inland barge operations where the missing element is inland waterway routing and terminal relationships distinct from coastal or Great Lakes services.
  • Port terminal stevedoring and cargo handling where the missing element is vessel operation and carriage; terminal services focus on onshore cargo handling and storage.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 483113?
  • Contract line items request daily or per-voyage vessel charter rates with separate CLINs for fuel, crewing, and port fees.
  • Technical requirements specify vessel type (coaster, tanker barge, or ro-ro), minimum cargo deadweight or lane meters, and required cargo securing plans.
  • Performance language calls for port-to-port transit times, certified vessel seaworthiness documents, voyage manifests, and delivery confirmation at named domestic coastal or Great Lakes ports.
