The Fleets
Lloyd Royal Belge
Formed in Antwerp in 1915 by the amalgamation of three
companies, Antwerpsche Zeevaart Maatschappij, Scheepvaartmaatschappij
Gylsen and Belgische Reederi. In 1930 the drop in freight rates caused
a serious shipping slump and the company was taken over by Compagnie
Maritime Belge.
Many thanks to Ted Finch for his assistance in collecting this data.
