In 1934 Rethymnis & Kulukundis Ltd. (R&K) branched into shipowning,〔 establishing a nominally separate company to own each ship.〔 From 1934 they managed the ships under the name of Counties Ship Management Ltd (CSM).〔 Some R&K companies grew to own more than one ship, all of which were under CSM management.〔 In the Second World War from 1940 onwards CSM was controlled by the Ministry of War Transport.〔〔 CSM lost several ships in the war〔 and others were damaged. In about 1946 CSM companies began replacing its losses by buying seven Liberty ships from the UK Government.〔 In 1948–49 ten ships from CSM companies were transferred to found a new R&K company, London & Overseas Freighters Ltd. However, in 1950 the CSM fleet was radically expanded with 34 Canadian "Fort and Park" ships.〔 In the 1950s LOF became the main R&K company and the CSM fleet was reduced in size.〔 Its last ship was MV ''Port Campbell'', which CSM took over in 1966 and renamed ''Kings Reach''.〔 CSM's history effectively ended with her sale in 1970.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「London & Overseas Freighters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
