ANNUAL REPORT ANNUAL REPORT

Swedish Maritime
Administration’s
operations
❯❯ In a bid to analyse its various activities,
the Swedish Maritime Administration
has compiled income
statements for its operations. The basis
for distribution is that resource
utilisation is charged as fairly as possible
to the appropriate operation. All
items involving administration are
broken out and reported under “Joint
functions”. Administrative items are
subsequently allocated via standard
amounts as indirect items among the
various operations. The standard
amounts are primarily based on each
operation’s payroll costs. Fairway
dues, which finance most of the Administration’s
operations, have not
been distributed.
During 2005, the Swedish Maritime
Administration established new
standard amounts for the distribution
of the indirect items among operations.
The basis for the standard
amounts is the work time that each
organisational unit is estimated to expend
on administrative tasks on behalf
of the various operations. The
calculations proceed on the basis of
the resource distribution that each
unit manager makes in connection
with the budget process, supplement-
ed with more specific calculations of
the expended work time for central
administration. In the income statement
for each operation, indirect
items for the preceding year are restated
using the new standard amounts.
The Government’s letter of appropriation
states that the Swedish Maritime
Administration’s aggregate income
and costs are to be reported in
the operational areas of production,
and sector and agency activities. The
Administration has defined the agency’s
tasks as being distributed among
the operations below, where production
operations refer to components
under the headings Infrastructure
and Maritime Traffic:
1) Infrastructure
● Fairways
● Icebreaking
● Hydrogeographic information
2) Maritime traffic
● Maritime traffic information
● Pilotage
● Maritime search and rescue
3) Maritime Safety Inspectorate
4) Sector and agency tasks, excluding
the Maritime Safety Inspectorate
