Modernization
From steamships to modern
motor vessels
The growth and development of shipping required expeditious modernization of the fleet. During the late fifties and early sixties of the previous century, Splošna Plovba acquired its first new-built vessels. The vessels were built in the Uljanik Shipyard, Pula (today’s Croatia), as well as in Japan, Belgium and Spain. In 1971, Splošna Plovba sold its last steamship.
S/S ZELENGORA, an Empire Liberty type vessel, was the last vessel in the fleet with a classic three-expansion steam engine. She was employed in the tramp trade, as well as for transporting logs from West Africa. S/S Zelengora was sold for scrap in Split.
