In brief

What Esso is

Full article ↗

Esso () is a global trading name for ExxonMobil, used alongside Mobil, as one of its two primary retail brands outside the United States.
The name was originally used by its predecessor, Standard Oil of New Jersey, which began marketing products under the Esso brand in 1926 following the 1911 breakup of the original Standard Oil company. The name was derived from the phonetic pronunciation of the parent company's initials (S.O.).

In context

How Esso compares

With 1 vessels attributed to it here, Esso is the 492nd 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.

United States is the country of registration for 144 commercial operators in this directory, among which Esso ranks 55th by ships on record. Between them those companies hold 435 vessels here. 1 of them carry a published container-capacity ranking. See every operator registered in United States.

Founded in 1911, Esso is 115 years old. This directory holds 40 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.
