The line was a joint venture between the International Navigation Company of Philadelphia, which also ran the American Line, and the Société Anonyme de Navigation Belgo-Américaine of Antwerp, Belgium. The company's main ports of call were New York City and Philadelphia in the United States and Antwerp in Belgium. The company was founded by Clement Griscom, who led it from its founding until its merger into the IMM.
