Giants who changed the face of shipping Onassis, Arison and McLean, three shipping industry entrepreneurs whose influence will be felt long into the new millennium, are nominated today by Lloyd's List as the men of the 20th century.
A Special Edition Lloyd's List starts the year 2000 with a very special edition. To mark the millennium celebrations, we present a look back at the events, trends and personalities that have shaped the maritime industry 20th century.
A long voyage to near extinction AT the end of the 19th century, British-owned shipping, aided by imperial preference, was a dominant power in world trade. More than 300 separate shipping companies were registered, and within a substantial number of these traded many subsidiaries. There was scarcely any port in the world where the Red Ensign was not ubiquitous, and there were few routes that were not ploughed by British tramps and liners.
Containerisation at a crossroads HOW ironic. As the 20th century drew to a close, the company that pioneered containerisation was swallowed up, neatly ending an era that spanned just four decades and yet revolutionised world trade.
Partying into this century and accentuating the value-added WHAT better place to be on the official night of the millennium celebrations than at 4 Albert Embankment, where a small band of volunteers from the International Maritime Organisation's friendly secretariat have organised a Do-It-Yourself Y2K party.
Time-honoured networkers have a culture all their own If ARISTOTLE Onassis is a shoo-in for any popular poll conducted to find the shipowner of the century, the same might be said for his compatriots as the nationality which has made the most impact on shipping in modern times.
Honours List The maritime industry is well represented in the last New Year's honours list of the century, a list dominated by show business and sporting celebrities.
