Swadeshi Steam Navigation Company (SSNC), was one of the first indigenous Indian shipping companies setup during the Indian independence movement. It was started in 1906 [1] by V O Chidambaram Pillai (popularly called as VOC) to compete against the monopoly of the British India Steam Navigation Company (BISNC),[2] plying ships between Tuticorin and Colombo during the Indian freedom struggle.
