Réflexions sur les nouvelles sociétés par actions dans le transport maritime en Pologne

摘要

Some observations on the emergence of new joint-stock companies in Polish shipping. After a brief historical note on the existence of these enterprises following the establishment of the new regime in Poland, with a reminder that this represents a return to an earlier tradition going back before the second world war, the author describes the latest such companies to have been set up in shipping. There are three of these, and they differ from the old nationalized shipping lines by being genuinely self-managing, by the way in which their activities are defined (i.e. to make profits), by their terms of reference and by the type of controls to which they are subject. However, they are a recent development and it is still too early to judge their impact.
