Founded in 1997, Prvo Parobrodsko Društvo (PPD) was established with the clear vision of providing top-tier services to the Serbian shipping industry. Born out of the challenges of the 1990s, a time marked by the decline of state-owned enterprises and shifting markets, we quickly recognized the need for a modern, efficient shipping agency. Over the years, we've adapted to these changes, growing from a local service provider to a key player in the river shipping market.
With almost three decades of industry experience, we have seen it all — the challenges, the shifts, and the evolution of shipping. Like people, a company matures, becoming wiser, more efficient, and more capable with time. Our long-standing presence in the market has made us confident in our ability to continue delivering outstanding services and solutions.
In addition to our deep-rooted expertise, what sets us apart is our dedicated team. Our employees are the heart of the company — experienced, passionate and committed to excellence. They ensure that every service is delivered with the highest level of professionalism, responsibility and care, making us a trusted partner for all your shipping and port needs.
Initially focused on port agency services — including dockings, repairs, provisioning, and more across Serbia and Croatia — we've expanded significantly over the years. In 2021, we introduced destination management, offering tailored shore services for river cruises. By 2022, we had expanded our operations across the entire Danube, and today, we proudly extend our services along the Rhine and Mosel as well.
We are here to provide you with reliable, efficient, and customized solutions — one call away from making your journey smoother.
