In context

How Fukushima Prefecture compares

With 1 vessels attributed to it here, Fukushima Prefecture 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.

Japan is the country of registration for 69 commercial operators in this directory, among which Fukushima Prefecture ranks 22nd by ships on record. Between them those companies hold 153 vessels here. 2 of them carry a published container-capacity ranking. See every operator registered in Japan.

Founded in 1876, Fukushima Prefecture is 150 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.
