In context

How Wan Hai Lines compares

Counts over companies and vessels actually held in this directory — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.

No individual vessel in this registry currently names Wan Hai Lines as its operator, so it has no counted fleet here. Its published figure of 120 ships is shown above with the source that reported it. Of the 1,543 commercial operators on record, 965 have at least one ship individually attributed.

Founded in 1965, Wan Hai Lines is 61 years old. This directory holds 96 operators founded within five years either side of that date, whose median fleet on record is 1 ships. The median founding year across all commercial operators here is 1966, and the oldest on record dates to 1514.
