are small-sized (fleet of up to five vessels). These compa-
nies collectively manage 15% of the fleet, i.e., 815 vessels.

from six to 15 vessels), managing 31% of the fleet, i.e., 1,646
vessels. Large-sized companies represent 16% (90) of the
total number of companies (fleet of at least 16 vessels). These
