The China Navigation Company, the deep-sea shipping arm of the Swire group, was established in 1872. Many of the ships were named after ports on the China coast and the Yangtze River and it has been decided that the current fleet, including vessels operating in the Swire Shipping liner services, will assume their traditional names.
