Formed in 1872 to operate a service between Le Havre and Brazil, Compagnie des Chargeurs Reunis began routes to Indo-China (a federation of French colonies including modern day Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Burma) in the early 1900s. Service continued until World War II, when the loss of French Indo-China gradually forced the company to end passenger services.
