Ships in registry counts individual vessel records attributed to the company here. Reported fleet is the company’s published total. They measure different things and are shown separately on purpose.
In context

With 1 vessels attributed to it here, Fortescue Ltd 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.
Australia is the country of registration for 17 commercial operators in this directory, among which Fortescue Ltd ranks 5th by ships on record. Between them those companies hold 16 vessels here. See every operator registered in Australia.
Founded in 2003, Fortescue Ltd is 23 years old. This directory holds 134 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.
