In context
Counts over companies and vessels actually held in this directory — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
With 3 vessels attributed to it here, Polferries is the 262nd 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.
Poland is the country of registration for 13 commercial operators in this directory, among which Polferries ranks 2nd by ships on record. Between them those companies hold 21 vessels here. See every operator registered in Poland.
Founded in 1976, Polferries is 50 years old. This directory holds 97 operators founded within five years either side of that date, whose median fleet on record is 2 ships. The median founding year across all commercial operators here is 1966, and the oldest on record dates to 1514.
