China Navigation Company

Founded in 1876 in London, initially to trade up the Yangtze River from their Shanghai base with passengers and cargo, the Union Steam Navigation Co. of

Shanghai was taken over the following year. Chinese coastal trade started shortly after and in 1883 a regular service to Australia was initiated. Most of the

company's ships were seized by Japan in 1941 and services did not resume until 1946. Pilgrim services to Mecca and cruising started in 1960 and in 1974 China

Navigation Co. became known as part of the Swire Group. By 2000 the company still owned 12 ships which traded worldwide

1946 operations moved from Shanghai to Hong Kong and China Coast services discontinued. Routes were to Australia, Taiwan (1946), Australia - New Guinea

(1952), Japan - Hong Kong - New Guinea (1957), New Zealand (1963) and worldwide container services from 1980
