Royal Rotterdam Lloyd

Royal Rotterdam Lloyd, a Netherlands-based shipping line established in 1883, operated a fleet serving scheduled passenger and mail routes between Rotterdam and the Dutch East Indies. The company was granted royal patronage in 1947, becoming Koninklijke Rotterdamsche Lloyd. At its peak, Royal Rotterdam Lloyd's operations were significant, although specific details on fleet size, tonnages, and TEU capacity are not readily available. The company's independent existence ended in 1970 with its merger into Nederlandsche Scheepvaart Unie, which later became Nedlloyd in 1977.
