APL History - Timeline

Welcome to the APL timeline, where an exciting overview of the company’s history awaits you. There are actually two parallel timelines to scroll through. One contains a brief description of significant events in our history, and the other provides you with a chronology of the many vessels belonging APL and its predecessors.

Our historical timelines are divided into three periods to make it even easier for you to jump from one era to the next. For example, if you’d like to fast forward from 1846-1899 to 1900-1949, just use the buttons on the bar above to make your move. From there, clicking on the appropriate button will enable you to jump to 1950-Present.
 
Plus, even more information about these historic vessels — ranging from the SS California (1848) to the incredible containerships of today — is accessible via links in the vessel timeline. Or, you can skip the timelines and take a look at our many historical vessels now.
