Restructuring in the industry division

2000 was a year with a large degree of restructuring in the supporting and auxiliary transport activities. Users should also note that revision of industry codes in the Central Register of Establishments and Enterprises have led to considerable changes for some of the industries. Subsequently, the figures for 2000 are not fully comparable to previously published figures for 1999.

Statistics on the enterprise level

The structural business statistics for supporting and auxiliary transport activities are compiled both on the local KAU level and on the enterprise level. On the enterprise level turnover was NOK 38.4 billion in 2000, while the total number of employees was 19 427 persons.

Figures on the enterprise level will usually deviate somewhat from figures compiled on the local KAU level. This is due to the fact that enterprises are registered in the industry subclass that comprises the main part of the activity of the enterprise, and therefore may be registered in a different industry than some of the local KAUs within the enterprise (see section 3 and 4 of "About the statistics").
