Although the port of Fiume is still far from attaining maximum 
prosperity, it has made marked progress in the last few years in the 
reconsignment traffic, fostered by many steamship companies con- 
necting the port with regular services to all ports of Italy, northern 
Europe, Tripoli, Morocco, Spain, the Levant, Egypt, and the Far 
East. Commodities are carried with through bills of lading to any 
destination. 
The Fiume mercantile marine received good support in the steady 
growth of Fiume before the war. The following companies were 
established: 
The Adria, with a capital of 10,000,000 crowns and 32 vessels of 
71,747 gross register tons; the Atlantica, with 6,000,000 crowns and 
11 vessels of 43,784 gross register tons; the Levante, with 6,000,000 
crowns and 12 vessels of 42,169 tons; the Oriente, with 3,500,000 
crowns and 5 vessels of 10,625 tons, and the Ungaro-Croata, with 
2,000,000 crowns and 46 vessels of 16,453 tons. The total of the 
merchant fleet registered at Fiume amounted to 106 vessels of 184,778 
gross register tons on a capital investment of 27,500,000 Hungarian 
crowns, or $5,236,000 pre-war values. Since the war there have 
necessarily been many changes, but the large interest which the 
countries of the hinterland have in the port of Fiume is again revealed 
in the increasing number of Italian and foreign navigation companies 
calling regularly there. 
The Adria Co., which alone has a capital of 30,000,000 lire and & 
total tonnage of 36,368 gross register tons, is increasing its fleet with 
two 2,900-ton motor vessels and the construction of additional 
motor-driven tonnage is contemplated. A new Hungarian steam 
navigation company has recently been established with four steamers, 
which will fly the Hungarian flag and shall have Fiume as their port 
of registry.
