History
William Robertson Shipowners Ltd was formed in 1958 to take over the management of the William Robertson fleet of ships. In 1969, it became a wholly owned subsidiary of its associated company, Gem Line Ltd. In 1970, both Gem Line Ltd and William Robertson Shipowners Ltd were acquired by Powell Duffryn Ltd. Following this, in 1971, the whole of the business of William Robertson Shipowners Ltd was transferred to Gem Line Ltd. Gem Line Ltd was renamed William Robertson Shipowners Ltd whilst William Robertson Shipowners was renamed Gem Line Ltd. The new Gem Line Ltd remained in existence but was little more than a shell. It appears to have been wound up in 1975.
