Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Holm & Co were ship owners, ship brokers and stevedores based in Wellington, New Zealand. They were agents for Australian and other foreign airways and shipping lines.
The business was founded by Swedish-born Captain Pehr Ferdinand Holm (1844—1917) when he bought the barque Genevie M Tucker in 1889. He had settled in Wellington in 1868. His last sailing ship was the barquentine Titania wrecked off Nouméa in 1914 when the lighthouse was under a wartime blackout. Two sons became marine engineers and two became master mariners. Sydney Holm ran the business before his father died and thereafter. A company was incorporated to take ownership of the business in 1918 with offices in the Huddart Parker Line building in Wellington's Post Office Square.[1][2]
The Union Steam Ship Company took a controlling shareholding in 1930.[2]
In 1968 Richardson & Co and Canterbury Steam Ship Company joined Holm & Co and the three businesses became subsidiaries of Union Steam.[2]
