The Economic Aspects of the Ferry Operator Activity - Selected Issues

Abstract

The ferry industry is well-developed within the Baltic Sea. The ferry operation is a type of liner shipping where passengers and cargo form one specific market. The costs incured by ferry companies are typical for regular shipping, whereas revenue is generated in two different segments. The aim of the article is to analyse the structure of costs and income of ferry carriers. Two prime Baltic companies operating cruise ferries have been analysed.
