This company was active in transporting passengers from Rotterdam through the St Lawrence Seaway to the Great Lakes till 1970. One of the forerunners of this combined firm; The Oranje line, was the first to offer regular cargo service from Europe directly to the Great Lake ports. They were in service before the opening of the St Lawrence / Great Lakes seaway in 1959 allowed larger ocean-going vessels access to the interior waterways.
