The History of Jugoslavenski Lloyd Steamship Company
Zdravka Jelaska Marijan
Sažetak
The sessional papers of the steamship companies Atlantska plovidba «Ivo Račić», Jugoslavensko-amerikanska plovidba, and Jugoslavenski Lloyd, together with the accompanying materials that have been preserved in the records of Lujo Kargotić, notary of Split, provide a valuable insight into the business affairs and the management structure of these companies. To a certain extent, the papers also afford a vivid picture of the entire shareholders’ structure of the companies as well as a general perspective of the shipping and commerce market of the period. Prior to their merging into Jugoslavenski Lloyd, Atlantska plovidba «Ivo Račić» (1922-1928) and Jugoslavensko-amerikanska plovidba (1924-1928) shared some of the board members. From 1925 to 1928 the regular annual sessions were held at the same place, on the same date, and at a short interval with the same chairmen and the notaries in witness. The fleet of both the companies consisted of liners only, which their boards tended to expand and renew by purchasing new steamers. Both companies took great interest in trading with South America. The agreement on their mergence was accepted by both committees on December 14, 1928, becoming effective from January 1, 1929. As for the number of steamers, Jugoslavenski Lloyd had a most sizeable fleet of all the contemporary Yugoslav steamshipping companies. Yugoslav financial organizations had more than a 50% holding in the company, Srpska banka in Zagreb being a major holder and around one third was held by the Yugoslav immigrants in South America. Good management and financial resources of the companies that had merged into Jugoslavenski Lloyd helped the company sail safely through the years of the economic crisis, but at a price of having to dock some of the ships.
