What National Geodetic Survey is

Full article ↗

The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) is a United States federal agency based in Washington, D.C. that defines and manages a national coordinate system, providing the foundation for transportation and communication, mapping and charting, and a large number of science and engineering applications. Since its founding in 1970, it has been part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a division within the Department of Commerce.

In context

How National Geodetic Survey compares

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

With 1 vessels attributed to it here, National Geodetic Survey 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 National Geodetic Survey 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 1807, National Geodetic Survey is 219 years old. This directory holds 3 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.
