The Fleets
 Navigazione
Generale Italiana Line
Navigazione Generale Italiana was formed in 1881 by the amalgamation
of I & V.Florio of Palermo and R.Rubattino of Genoa. Besides services
to the USA and Canada, they ran to Mediterranean and Black Sea ports,
India, the Far East and South America. In 1885 they took over Soc.Italiana
di Transporti
Marittimi Raggio & Co. and Soc. Rocco Piaggio & Figli. By 1901 NGI had taken
control of La Veloce and in 1924 liquidated that company. In 1910 they purchased
a controlling interest in Lloyd Italiano. The same year the Societa Nationale
del Servizi Marittimi was formed and NGI transferred most of their ships to this
company. This left them with only 19 ships and the North and South American routes.
In 1921 Transoceanica Societa Italiana di Navigazione and Societa Commerciale
Italiana and their fleets were absorbed into NGI and in 1932 NGI and Lloyd
Sabaudo,
with Cosulich Line combined
to form a new company named ITALIA.
