In brief

What Pemex is

Full article ↗

Pemex (a portmanteau of Petróleos Mexicanos, which translates to Mexican Petroleum in English; Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpemeks]) is the Mexican state-owned petroleum corporation managed and operated by the Mexican government. It was formed in 1938 by nationalization and expropriation of all private oil companies in Mexico at the time of its formation, making PEMEX an enduring symbol of Mexican nationalism. Pemex had total assets worth $101.8 billion in December 2019 and as of 2009 was Latin America's second-largest enterprise by annual revenue, surpassed only by Petrobras (the Brazilian national oil company). The company is the seventh-most polluting in the world according to The Guardian.

In context

How Pemex 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, Pemex 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.

Mexico is the country of registration for 4 commercial operators in this directory, among which Pemex ranks 1st by ships on record. Between them those companies hold 3 vessels here. See every operator registered in Mexico.

Founded in 1938, Pemex is 88 years old. This directory holds 32 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.
