Marine Cargo Handling
NAICS 488320 · Federal Contracts & Awards
Marine Cargo Handling obligated $329,892,028.97 in FY2024 according to USAspending.gov (NAICS 488320). That yearlyTrend cell is 67.2% of $491,052,954.96. That yearlyTrend cell is about two-thirds of the NAICS 488320 extract — a marine cargo-handling year, not a tonnage log. The pair is Marine Cargo Handling and FY2024 — not every federal dollar in FY2024, not Marine Cargo Handling’s lifetime book restated as a single year, and not cash already paid. The industry parent lists 742 awards across the published extract; that count is not a FY2024-only row total. Correlation is not causation.
Key figures
- USAspending records $329,892,028.97 in Marine Cargo Handling FY2024 obligations (NAICS 488320).
- That cell is 67.2% of the industry’s $491,052,954.96 extract-wide total.
- 742 is the industry extract award-record count, not a FY2024 census of tons, terminals, or named stevedores.
- The join is NAICS 488320 × FY2024, not an outlay and not a named-recipient list.
- Cite USAspending.gov; quote NAICS 488320 and FY2024 federal spending if live tables moved.
Marine Cargo Handling dollars in FY2024
The relationship is mechanical: one NAICS code, one fiscal year, one obligation sum. $329,892,028.97 is that sum for Marine Cargo Handling in 2024. It is not Marine Cargo Handling nationwide restated as a single year, not every federal dollar in FY2024, and not an outlay register. The packet does not split stevedoring from other cargo-handling lines inside 488320. 742 is the industry extract’s award-record count, not a FY2024-only file. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a tonnage log, a named-terminal roster, or a berth inventory.
67.2% locates FY2024 inside NAICS 488320’s $491,052,954.96 extract. Navigational services to shipping is a separate NAICS. Do not recode 488320 as that parent. Do not divide $329,892,028.97 by 742 and call the result a typical FY2024 contract; the award count is extract-wide. Open NAICS 488320 for the industry table without the year filter, FY2024 federal spending for the year table without the NAICS filter, All industries for the NAICS index, and All spending ties for other pairs. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $329,892,028.97.
What NAICS 488320 contributes to this pair
USAspending labels industry 488320 as Marine Cargo Handling. That code produced $329,892,028.97 when filtered to FY2024. The industry-wide 488320 hub does not require a 2024 clamp. The fiscal-year hub does not require Marine Cargo Handling. Only this tie applies both filters. The packet does not split stevedoring from other cargo-handling lines inside 488320.
Correlation is not causation: fiscal year 2024 did not cause $329,892,028.97 by existing on a calendar. Production rates, employment, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 488320 × FY2024 only. This cell is not a tonnage log, a named-terminal roster, or a berth inventory. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Questions
- How much did Marine Cargo Handling obligate in FY2024?
- USAspending.gov records $329,892,028.97 in Marine Cargo Handling obligations for fiscal year 2024 under NAICS 488320. That amount is a yearlyTrend obligation total, not an outlay and not the industry’s $491,052,954.96 extract-wide sum. The FY2024 slice is 67.2% of that parent. Keep Marine Cargo Handling and FY2024 on the same citation as $329,892,028.97.
- Is $329,892,028.97 the entire 488320 USAspending total?
- No. NAICS 488320’s extract-wide total is $491,052,954.96. The FY2024 slice is 67.2% of that parent. Other fiscal-year rows for the same code are separate cells if they exist. Do not add the parent hub into this join. Obligations of $329,892,028.97 are not outlays. 742 is extract-wide for NAICS 488320, not a FY2024 firm census.
- Do 742 awards equal 742 Marine Cargo Handling firms in FY2024?
- No. 742 is the Marine Cargo Handling award-record count in this extract, not a FY2024 census of tons, terminals, or named stevedores. The packet does not split those records by fiscal year or name contractors. Do not divide $329,892,028.97 by 742. USAspending.gov remains the source.
- Can FY2024 figures still change?
- Yes. The source note says FY figures can be incomplete. Later USAspending.gov ingests can restate $329,892,028.97 without changing the join keys NAICS 488320 and 2024. Prefer NAICS 488320 and FY2024 federal spending when live tables move. Obligations remain distinct from outlays. 742 stays extract-wide, not a FY2024 firm census.
USAspending.gov NAICS yearlyTrend by fiscal year. Obligations are not outlays. FY figures can be incomplete for the current year.
