History of Compagnie Nationale de Navigation

Compagnie Nationale de Navigation was founded by Marc Fraissinet in 1879. The purpose of this company was to open scheduled lines with India, Indonesia and Philippines (then called in France Insulinde) and Indochina. In the latter case, the company specialized in the transport of troops to Tonkin.
In 1886, the company attempted to open a line to New York, and next year a line Dakar-Buenos Aires. However, only the Indochinese line was still active in 1896.
In 1904, the company had to face the competition from the Messageries Maritimes and the end of the monopole on transport of war material to Tonkin. Therefore, it was decided to sold off the company while it was still profitable. The fleet was sold to the Messageries Maritimes and the Chargeurs Réunis.

All the ships of the Compagnie Nationale de Navigation were named after exotic places, e.g. SS Cochin, Chandernagor, Hindoustan, Colombo, Cachemire and Caobang.
