Companies that operate merchant or passenger vessels as a commercial service. Belongs here: named shipping lines such as Cunard Line, White Star Line and Maersk. Does not belong here: shipbuilders such as Harland & Wolff, grouped under vehicle and equipment manufacturers, because building vessels is a different function from operating them, or the International Maritime Organization, a regulatory body rather than a carrier.
