Standing analyses of the register — positions, yards, flags and ownership. Each one is a live query, not a filed story: the numbers move when the data does.
PositionsEvery hull in the register, counted by the sea area of its most recent AIS report.
IndustryA handful of northern European yards dominate the register. The league table of superyacht construction.
RegistryA short list of small jurisdictions carries most of the world's largest yachts. Where the register sits.
The fleetEvery hull on the register longer than 100 metres, in order.
OwnershipMost names on the register appear once. These are the ones that appear more than once.
MethodWhere the money came from, counted: tech, resources, royalty, and the seized fleet.
These dispatches are computed from the register itself — there is no hand-written copy behind the numbers. Written investigations will appear here alongside them once the newsroom desk is connected; until then the Journal publishes only what the data supports.
