In context

How University of Delaware compares

With 1 vessels attributed to it here, University of Delaware 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 University of Delaware 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.
