Tried to find anything on Royal Interocean Lines or Koninklijke Java-China Paketvaart Lijnen NV, Netherlands on this site but so far no pictures etc. Their ships always fascinated me when I saw them on my voyages. They always looked so well maintained and their trading routes were very interesting. They never went back to Holland but all over the Far East, Australasia, Africa and South America - must have been great trips!?

Paul ,
KNSM, KPM, KNJCPL, Koninklijke Lloyd, Hollandse Lloyd and many more have all merged into what eventually became Nedlloyd and you know what happened to them recently.
You will find a lot of info on the internet and in reality they had hundreds of vessels.
I got quite a few (black and white) in my collection and I am sure Ruud would have them all.....!!
KNSM e.g. http://www.kroonvaarders.com/
KPM http://www.timetableimages.com/maritime/images/kpm.htm
and you just got the KNJCPL
In case you are looking for a specific vessel in particular then please let us know as hopefully we can find her.

Www.arendnet.com Web Site
Ahoy Ruud,
I had a look at the web site www.Arendnet.com and it looks interesting. The section marine radio is of special interest as I have been a Ham Radio Operator for a number years. Licence now lasped but could be reactivated at any time. Many years ago I was involved with the Wellington Coastal Radio Station (ZLW). I worked briefly with the rigging section based in Wellington. However as the arendnet site is in Dutch, I need to translate the site using some of the net translation services to get the full benifit of the web page. Great photos of the older ships and their radio rooms. Any R/O of old would enjoy the site.
Again, a great site and thanks for do***enting the web site.

Paul,
I just came across your post, as I am relatively new at this.
There is a local..(Oz) site.. ssmaritime.com which is run by a guy in Brisbane who appears to have worked for the company in the final years.
He has some teriffic stuff, including pix,brochures,deck plans etc and pix of stuff he has collected over the years.
Regards

Another fine site for Dutch ships is "VB Pictures", with hundreds of superb illustrations by the site's owner, C. E. A. van Boeckel.
It is an amazing display of maritime art and shouldn't be missed.

Hi Bruce, I only came across that site last week or so. It is absolutely SUPERB. The detail is amazing. In many ways the drawings are better than photos.
Just a dream....imagine if he had teamed up with Duncan Haws and supplied the illustrations and DH did the research and wrote the copy ???
Wouldn't they be little books to die for?

Nedlloyd Amsterdam
The Straat "A" boats are surely the most beautiful cargo vessels ever built? I was so lucky to sail on the Nedlloyd Amsterdam (we called it "Straat Mokum") and the day I left that vessel was the last day I ever enjoyed being on a ship!!! Anyone who has photo's of that vessel, please send them to me!!!

RIL Nieuw Holland
Was lucky enough to sail on the old Nieuw Holland from Singapore to Sydney via Indonesian ports in I think1958.
A very happy voyage the old ship, all teakwood and brass creaked as she rolled. The Dutch officers spoke English with Aussie accents and the Master was a good type inviting me to the Bokkma Club. Food was excellent and the crew well trained
On the Queen's birthday we drank her health with Orange Blossom cocktails. Passengers were nearly all Aussies and very friendly many had done the round trip to Hong Kong the ship's home port.
