The Fleets
Compagnie de Navigation Mixte
Founded in Marseilles in 1850 with sailing craft equipped
with auxiliary engines, hence the name of the company, to operate cargo
and passenger services between Marseilles and North Africa. In 1853 operations
were extended to South America, but this ceased in 1857 due to lack of
trade. A service to the West Coast of Africa was inaugurated in 1894
but the company's main sphere of operations was the Mediterranean. In
1969 the
Compagnie Générale Transméditerranéenne (CGTM), was formed from the merging of
activities in the Mediterranean of the Compagnie
Générale Transatlantique and
the Compagnie de Navigation Mixte which disappeared
as a seperate concern.
