This study aims to analyse the relationship between national shipping and various factors and its relevance to the blue economy. The analysis using data of 84 countries has found the strong effect of shipping building, international trade and registration on the size of national fleets. In addition, all else being the same, top oil exporting countries and open registry countries have stronger fleet than the other countries. While tourism and fisheries are known to be important contributors to the blue economy, they do not have a significant effect on national shipping. This could be due to the fact that relationships between these sectors have yet been significant. The comparison of sustainable (weighted) ranking and weighted rankings show very significant differences between these. The former is more in favour of countries with a significant maritime industry.
