The Fleets
Compagnie de Navigation Paquet, Marseille
Formed in 1863 as Compagnie de Navigation Marocaine,
the company traded initially to Morocco and in 1868 extended to the Canary
Islands. Later
routes were started to the Levant and Black Sea and in 1874 the company
was renamed Compagnie de Navigation Arménienne et Marocaine.
Routes
were extended to French West Africa in 1908 and in 1913 the company was
renamed Compagnie de Navigation Paquet. Heavily involved in trooping,
they lost four ships during the Great War. The Black Sea route became
less profitable
and was abandoned in 1934 while trade to Morocco boomed. Most of the
fleet was lost during the Second World War and new building commenced
in 1946,
but the cargo ships were progressively sold and air transport effectively
killed off passenger traffic.
In 1960 Paquet created the subsidiary Compagnie Francaise
de Navigation for the Marseille - Israel service, and in 1964 absorbed
the passenger
liners of the Fabre Line. By
1970 all the passenger liners had either been sold or converted to
cruise
ships and in 1988 the company was taken over
by Costa Lines.
