Etymology

The term 'shipowner' dates back to the early days of maritime commerce. It is derived from the combination of 'ship,' which has Old English origins (scip) referring to a large watercraft, and 'owner,' which comes from the Old English word 'ฤgen' meaning one who possesses. As global trade expanded in the Age of Exploration, the role of the shipowner became increasingly significant. During the 19th century, the industrial revolution further amplified the need for shipowners as steamships and larger vessels were developed, leading to a boom in the shipping industry. Over time, the responsibilities of shipowners have evolved, especially with the advent of international maritime laws and regulations, shaping modern shipping practices.
