Opis

The Company was formed on Merseyside in 1913, when over 4 million tons of vessels sailed from the Mersey on coastal voyages. The Irish livestock trade was also significant at the time with Liverpool handling 70% of all UK livestock, hide and skin imports. Coast Lines grew from a small fleet of coastal vessels to the world's largest coastal fleet, with 110 passenger and cargo vessels in 1955. It pioneered the coordination of coastal sea and road transport from the 1950s and was taken over by P&O in 1971. However, the fleet had declined from 110 ships in 1955 to only twenty-five vessels in 1971 when the takeover took place. At its peak the line comprised Powell Bacon & Hough Lines, British Channel Islands Shipping, Queenship Navigation, Belfast Steamship Company, Burns & Laird Lines, British & Irish Steam Packet, North of Scotland, Orkney & Shetland Shipping, Tyne Tees Shipping and the Zillah Shipping Company.
