Abstract: Abstract As we have seen, the various North Atlantic Conference Agreements between shipping companies in the nineteenth century were either bilateral or multilateral as circumstances dictated. The first Atlantic Conference so designated was formed in 1908 between most of the British, American and Continental lines engaged in the passenger trade. Agreements were reached on first and second class minimum passenger rates and conditions. At the same time a pooling arrangement was established for third class traffic. This conference, which had its headquarters in Jena, was dissolved on the outbreak of the First World War but was reconstituted in skeleton form during the war by a few of the members and had its office in Paris.
