HISTORY
Steamships Trading Company Limited is one of Papua New Guinea’s oldest and most significant commercial groups, tracing its beginnings to 1918 as a one-vessel trading operation and growing over the 20th century into a major diversified business in shipping, transport, property, hospitality, manufacturing, and services. By the date of this 1979 certificate, it was already a long-established Papua New Guinean company headquartered in Port Moresby, with Australian share registry arrangements for investors, and it has remained a major PNG-listed corporate group for more than a century. This certificate comes from that mature expansion era, when Steamships had moved far beyond its original coastal trading roots but was still operating under its long-standing historic name.
