Transition to the Tramp Trade
With Slovenia’s independence in 1991, Splošna Plovba was left without a market for its liner activities. Such circumstances required redirecting from liner/tramping activities to mainly tramping activities. The company kept only its India-Far East Line (today’s Genshipping Pacific Line), and until 2001, its liner service for transporting logs.
M/V ROG (II) was employed in the tramp trade for transporting bulk cargoes. She was scrapped in Alang, India.
