Notes: Transport by water includes transport by ocean and by river. Starting from 1993, ocean has been redefined to refer to transport  by all vessels operating beyond the river trade limits whereas river has been redefined to refer to transport  by all vessels operating exclusively within the river trade limits. Hence, figures from 1993 onwards are not strictly comparable with those prior to 1993.

           Figures exclude livestock.
