Üzleti és nemzeti érdekek harca a dualizmus idején ; az osztrák Lloyd társaság tengeri kereskedelme Fiuméban

Absztrakt

In my paper, I introduce the operational history of an important trading company, the Austrian Lloyd, in terms of its connection to Hungary, between 1871 and 1913 focusing on Fiume’s port. This company connected Fiume (and Hungary) with the eastern ports of the Adriatic Sea, the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea (Levante) until 1891 with beneficial help from the Hungarian Government; and later by the company’s own interests. In the presentation I analyse the agreements made in the governmental contracts and why the contracts were terminated in 1891. I also had a look at the size of ship and goods turnover the company had in Fiume’s life between 1889 and 1913. In my study I don’t mean to present the company’s life and operations
only but I would like to place it horizontally in terms of its turnover rate among the other governmentally supported marine trading steam ship companies. As references I am using and working with relevant Hungarian and Italian bibliographies, laws and statistical publications. From my research I await to enlighten a slice of Hungarian export which is important and not very much processed.
