History

The Indo-China Steam Navigation Company Limited was established as a subsidiary of Jardine, Matheson & Company of Hong Kong, one of the largest British trading companies on the China coast. It operated ships between China, Vladivostok, Japan, the Philippines, and India. It also operated more than half of the vessels operating on the Yangtze River. This operation ended when the United Kingdom relinquished its extra-territorial rights in China under a 1943 treaty. Starting in the 1950s, its ships traded between Hong King, Australia, and New Zealand in addition to India and the Philippines.
