History of the Comptoir Général des Transports

After 20 years of involvement in ship chartering, Marc Vicenzini founded its own shipping company in 1951 to trade with North African trade. The first ship of the company was a second-hand cargo ship, MS Ville-de-Bastia. Then, Vicenzini bought a series of cargo ships from Dutch (Schiedam, Kinderdijk and Alblasserdam) and French (Nantes) shipyards. Most of these ships were named xxx-V., where xxx was a feminine surname.
The independence war of Algeria ruined Vicenzini. In 1961, he could not pay the bill for MS Yvonne-V. and got bankrupted. Seized, MS Yvonne-V. and her sister-ship Danielle-V. remained onshore until sold by auction in 1968.
