Shipping Countries Worldwide
119,158 shipping companies (ship owners & managers) across 215 countries, linked to 167,403 distinct IMO vessel records.
Based on non-deleted shipowner and shipmanager links in the database, not verified current control or an active global fleet census. Vessels are counted once per country and once in the overall total. A vessel can appear in more than one country; country percentages therefore overlap. Country is the linked company’s country, not the vessel’s flag. Companies with an unknown country are included in the overall totals but have no country card.
