History of Vimont

In the beginning of the 20th century, Vimont bought two sailing ships, SS France-Marie and Jules-Henri, specially designed for the transport of oil from the USA to France. In August 1922, Vicary joined Vimont and they founded the Société d'Affrêtement et d'Armement, dedicated to cargo shipping. In 1929, the three cargo ships SS Jean-Jacques, Caid and MS Secundus, once the biggest motorships in Marseilles, were sold. Only old SS Jules-Henri was kept and the company was renamed Compagnie Française de Navires Citernes (with Navires in plural although there was only one ship!).
The company was sold off in 1934 when old Jules-Henri was deemed obsolete.
