Rotterdam
Furness & Nephew
Ltd. was established in Rotterdam on January 1st 1906,
as agents of the British company
Furness, Withy & Co.
Ltd. in London.
With the purchase of the Neptune
Steam Navigation Co. Ltd. by Furness
Withy & Co. which provided a regular service between Rotterdam and
Baltimore, the decision was made to open a branch in Rotterdam. The new
company was established at the Prins Hendrikkade No. 9 in Rotterdam. Two
other shipping companies were begun by Furness & Nephew Ltd
between 1910 and 1911 ; the Stoomvaart Mij. Hollandia and the N.V. Indische
Lloyd.
In 1912 Furness & Nephew Ltd was changed to a Dutch registered company
and was named Furness Scheepvaart en Agentuur Maatschappij N.V. The
ships were employed on the India and Indonesian services and tramping. The
Rotterdamsche Scheepvaart Maatschappij was founded in 1912 by one of
the directors of Furness. Between 1913 and 1914 the the Stoomvaart Mij. Hollandia and the N.V.
Indische Lloyd and Rotterdamsche Scheepvaart Maatschappij were integrated
in Furness Scheepvaart en Agentuur Maatschappij N.V.
In 1916 the Furness Dutch subsidiary was separated from the British
Furness andafter that, had only the name in common.
By 1922 Furness managed four ships in the Zuid-Hollandsche Scheepvaart
Maatschappij (ZSHM) which was founded in 1917. Several ships were
lost during World War II.
The first new buildings came into service for the Zuid-Hollandsche
Scheepvaart Maatschappij (ZSHM) in 1952, but they were all small cargo
ships (coasters). In 1966 Furness took over the Dutch Company N.V. Teerbedrijf
Uithoorn which was specialized in the transportation of bitumen and in
1972 this
company was renamed Theodora Tankers
After 1966 the dry cargo ships became less profitable and the last ships
of the ZSHM were sold in 1968. In 1970 a new venture was tried with
a reefer but this was also not a success and Furness became a transport
and logistics company after the last ship was sold.
In 1995 Furness was taken over by Koninklijke Pakhoed N.V., Rotterdam
and Theodora Tankers was transferred to the division Pakhoed Scheepvaart
B.V. In the autumn of 1996 Pakhoed decided to sell Furness to
the Hollandia Industrial Society and Theodora Tankers became part of
Pakhoed Scheepvaart B.V., together with Gebr. Broere.
