Stockholms Rederi AB Svea (originally Stockholms Rederi A/B) was a long established company which began operating steamships in the 1800s. They operated cargo and passenger services along the Swedish coast, within the Baltic region, and also further afield. Cooperation with Bore Line and the Finland SS Co on services to Finland began in 1918 - this cooperation evolved into Silja Line in the late 1950s. In the 1930s Svea had a fleet of around 100 ships, the largest of which were about 2000grt. Many of the services were not profitable, and a group of Swedish families formed the Stjärnbolagen - owned by three family holding companies based in Stockholm, Gävle and Malmö. Stjärnbolagen, led by Emanuel Högberg, acquired over half the Svea company to protect its services. A substantial building programme of new steam freighters was undertaken at this time, although many of the passenger ships were very elderly.

 

After WW2, the Stockholms Rederi AB Svea expanded into owning larger ocean freighters, and developed ferry services from southern Sweden under the Scandinavian Ferry Lines, Linjebuss, Skandinavisk Linietrafik and Trave Line banners. Modern purpose-built car ferries did not arrive until the mid-1960s. A short-lived service to the UK began in 1966 with the impressive Svea (1). Finances were again unsound in the early 1970s, and the owning group sought another Swedish partner. Rederi Nordstjernan, parent company of Johnson Line AB, acquired a majority share holding in Svea 1975, and they took the remaining shares in 1981, at which point Stockholms Rederi AB Svea became a property company. The ex-Svea ships in Silja Line received Johnson Line funnel colours. Johnson Line set about rationalising the Svea services as soon as they held a majority holding in 1975. Svea and its subsidiaries then operated ferry services from Sweden to Finland, Denmark and Germany, and freight services across the North Sea and to the Mediterranean and West Africa. Svea had about 25 ships at this time. The Trave Line operation was merged in 1976 with SJ/Svelast, to form Saga Linien. In 1978, Bore Line withdrew from the Silja Line consortium, leaving Svea and Effoa (Finland SS) each with 50% each. The Linjebuss operation on the Öresund was merged in 1980 with SJ/Svelast to form SFL. In the same year, SFL then merged with the Danish Öresund operations, bringing together routes from Limhamn-Dragör, Malmö-Tuborg and the Malmö-Copenhagen fast ferries. The loss-making Landskrona-Tuborg route was closed. Also in 1980, TT-Line became partners in Saga Linien, shared with Svea and SJ/Svelast. In 1981, Johnson Line AB had a 50% interest in TT-Saga Line, and 50% interest in th Öresund services of SFL. However, Johnson Line AB faced a liquidity crisis soon afterwards, and sold their interests in SFL to SJ/Svelast, thereby withdrawing from the ferry traffic in southern Sweden. At this point their 50% interest in Silja Line was their only remaining ferry interest. Silja Line was becoming an increasingly important part of Johnson Line's turnover, growing from 25% to 50% between 1982-86. When Viking Line partner Rederi Sally AB ran into difficulties, Johnson Line and Effoa formed a joint company Rederi AB Effjohn to acquire the majority of the Sally shares in 1987, buying the rest the following year. Theyw ere forced to sell their stake in Viking Line to the remaining partners Slite and SF-Line, but retained the Wasa Line service, Sally UK, and Sally cruise operations in the Baltic with Sally Albatross, and Commodore Cruises in the Caribbean. Johnson Line funnel colours disappeared on Silja Line ships in 1992, when ownership of both Johnson and Effoa ships passed to Oy Silja Line.
