Irish Shipping
Irish Shipping Limited was an
Irish state-owned deep sea shipping company, formed during
World War II for the purpose of supplying the country's import needs. Its ships were usually named after
trees. Its contribution to Irish neutrality was recognised by the government after the war. In the post-war years the company continued to operate as a commercial strategic reserve until 1984 when, as a result of taking on a series of expensive long-term
time charters, it was forced into liquidation.
