Second Roland Linie A.G.

A second Roland Linie A.G. was formed at the end of 1905 as an independent company under Norddeutscher Lloyd. In 1914 it established Hafenbetriebs Gesellschaft Chile, renamed Globus Reederei GmbH in 1915. The surviving fleet was taken by the Allies after the First World War, but business resumed by 1920. Roland obtained a majority in Dampfschiffahrtsgesellschaft Argo A.G. at the end of 1922 and merged it early in 1923; a new Argo mbH took over Roland’s European services.
