1949年招商局迁台述论

On China Merchants' Move to Taiwan in 1949

抗战胜利后,招商局陆续恢复长江沿海各埠分局及办事处,航线遍及南北洋沿海及东南亚各地,拥有大小船舶490艘,达到招商局成立以来船舶拥有量的最高点。1949年,招商局随同国民党迁往台湾,迁台船舶为92艘,并承担了政府机关、人员及物资的迁台工作。迁台后,随着形势的变化,船舶数量、分支机构、码头、员工以及航线缩减,台湾招商局实力骤减。

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, China Merchants resumed port stations and offices around the costal area of Yangtze River in succession. Routes extended all over costal area of South Sea, North Sea and also Southeast Asia. And the number of vessels was 490 including small ones; the possession of the vessel achieved the highest point since China Merchants＇ founding. In the year 1949, China Merchants moved to Taiwan with KMT Government, and the number of vessel was 92. It took on the transport of government agencies, personnel and materials to Taiwan. After this, the number of vessels, branches, the terminal, the staff and routes were cut as the situation changed. The strength of Talwan＇s China Merchants plunged.
