Around
the World Line

With the purchase of modern newly built and secondhand liner vessels the circumstances had evolved for transition to liner activities. The first two main liner services were introduced by Splošna Plovba in the late fifties and early sixties of the previous century. They were: the Around the World Line in the eastern direction and the liner service to the USA. On both lines, vessels transported general cargoes.

The crew of M/V LJUTOMER were awarded the Blue Ribbon by the Zagreb newspaper Vjesnik. In the former Yugoslavia the Blue Ribbon was awarded to an individual seafarer or a group of seafarers for proven excellence at sea in the previous year. The crew of M/V Ljutomer earned it for their extraordinary sacrifice, ingenuity and persistence in extinguishing the fire in the ship’s engine room. She was employed on the Around the World Line. The vessel was scrapped in Alang, India.
