[edit] Zodiac?
Why is Zodiac Maritime Agencies not listed under the companies? It is one of, if not thee biggest merchant shipping company in the world. It owns most of P&O anyway.
[edit] Historic lines?
What would be the best way of adding, or referring to, notable shipping lines which are now defunct?

[edit] Shipping Law re USport-to-USport domestic shipping law
i.e. no stops intermediary countries? Whatever it's called - and I'd think it's already in Wikipedia if I knew its name - it was brought in around the time of the Klondike Gold Rush to benefit Seattle and other US ports for traffic bound for Skagway and Haines and Dyea which, although not formally American until 1903, were claimed as such at the time of the law. The law was designed to target shipping commerce and shipping companies based out of Victoria and Vancouver, which had dominated coastal shipping for years until the rush. Anyone here know the name of this law, and is there an article about it, or that would concern it? Reason is a section for the Alaska Boundary Dispute article needs a comment about it and I need a ref, hopefully a link.Skookum1 23:48, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia is not a repository of links
I'm concerned about the extended list of shipping companies here. It's ripe for linkspammers. I'm tempted to work on this article to comply with WP:NOT#MIRROR. MKoltnow 02:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

- I removed "Leading Educational Institutes" under the same precept. Only 3 on the list now, it was bound to be abused. -- Pesco 05:05, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
