Fleet rankings
Indexed-fleet rankings drawn from the Seafarer Index ship dataset (1000 vessels across 45 owners and 45 managers). This is not the same as a global ranking — it reflects the ships currently catalogued here. For exhaustive fleet counts, refer to company-reported figures (the third table) or commercial registries (Clarksons, IHS Markit, VesselsValue). Methodology: /sources.
