Empresa Líneas Marítimas Argentinas (ELMA) (English: Argentine Shipping Lines Company) was an Argentine cargo shipping line formed in 1960, after Juan Perón nationalised the shipping industry.[1]

History

It was dismantled during the 1990s as part of president Carlos Menem's 1990s state reform laws.[1] In its heyday there were 60 ships (approximately 700.000 DWT) sailing to Northern Europe, the United Kingdom, the Baltic Sea, the Mediterranean, the east coasts of the United States of America and Canada, the Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific, the Middle East and Far East and Africa.
