It takes a special kind of dedication to stay in business for more than 135 years! Take a look at our timeline to see how it all came about.
In 1883 Henry Tschudi travelled to Switzerland to raise money for investments. The ship was named after the Swiss mountain UTO and was one of the first Tschudi vessels.

At the time, all Tschudi & Eitzen vessels had the prefix SI in their names. Sharing the prefix meant that all ships were listed together in the Lloyd’s Shipping Index and the Norwegian shipping list. Four ships had the SI prefix: Sibella, Silvaplana, Silvana, Sirocco.
