In context

How DDG Hansa compares

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

With 10 vessels attributed to it here, DDG Hansa is the 89th largest of the 965 operators in this directory that hold at least one ship on record, against a median of 2 across that group. That is a count of individually identified hulls, not the company’s published fleet size — the two are different measurements and both are shown above where available.

Germany is the country of registration for 147 commercial operators in this directory, among which DDG Hansa ranks 12th by ships on record. Between them those companies hold 640 vessels here. 1 of them carry a published container-capacity ranking. See every operator registered in Germany.

Founded in 1881, DDG Hansa is 145 years old. This directory holds 41 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.
