Which is canting: "Cameroun" comes from mt. Cameroun, which in turn is originally Portuguese "Monte dos Camarões" (= mt. of shrimps).

Cameroon Shipping Lines, aka CAMSHIP, was created in 1974 during the First Republic of Cameroon (A960-1982), with the purchase of six cargo ships. CAMSHIP and the Council of Charterers were later restructured. CAMSHIP was privatized in 1999 following recommendations by the World Bank.
