After the Standard Oil Trust’s 1911 break-up, Standard Oil of New Jersey became the centre of the international Esso group. Overseas affiliates remained autonomous until 1939 and became full subsidiaries with Esso names after the war. Esso Shipping existed separately from 1950 to 1958. The parent became Exxon in 1972, while Esso remained the name and brand outside the USA and survived in some American shipping subsidiaries. The shipping arm became Exxon Shipping in the late 1970s. Humble, in which Standard Oil had acquired half the interest, became Exxon Co. USA in 1973. Rosanoski disputes a published claim of control by a California Standard Oil company.
