The Fleets
The Bergen Steamship Company / Det Bergenske Dampskibsselskab
(Bergen Line)
The Bergen Steamship Company (Det Bergenske Dampskibsselskab)
was founded in 1851 to run a service between Bergen, Stavanger, Kristiansand
and Hamburg or Altona. Services later expanded and eventually became
world wide. In 1907 the Dutch owned Norwegian Steamship Company was
taken over with their three ships and a Bergen - Rotterdam service
commenced. The same year Vestlandske Lloyd, Bergen was purchased jointly
with Nordenfjeldske and the fleet of four ships divided between the
two companies. This acquisition enabled Bergen Line to operate a service
to Iceland. The Norwegian South American Line was set up in 1913 as
a joint operation between Bergen Line, Otto Thoresen Line and Nordenfjeldske
to sail between Norway, Rio de Janeiro, Santos and Buenos Aires. This
service ceased in 1980. Between 1921 and 1961 Canada Steamship Lines
operated a Canada - Europe service with ships on long term charter
from Norwegian companies, one of which was Bergen Line. The tanker
trade was entered in 1951 and lasted until 1979. The company also operated
cruise ships from 1921 until 1971. They then set up the Royal Viking
Line in partnership with Nordenfjeldske to operate cruise liners. In
1984 Bergen Line was taken over by the Anders Jahre controlled Kosmos
Line, but continued to operate as a company to manage the Norway -
Newcastle route
ferries.
