🚢 Slovenia 2014 – Cargo Motor Ship “Martin Krpan”

• Official Title: Slovenian Ships – The cargo motor ship Martin Krpan
• Date of Issue: May 30, 2014
• Format: Issued as a single stamp within a Miniature Sheet (Souvenir Sheet or Block).
• Face Value: $1.33 €$ (Euro) at the time of issue.
• Significance: The Martin Krpan is historically very important. It was the first ship owned by the Slovenian shipping company Splošna plovba (General Navigation Company), which they acquired in 1954. Although a small vessel, its purchase marked the beginning of modern Slovenian overseas shipping ambition.

This was the first issue in the official “Slovenian Ships” commemorative stamp series, which was later followed by the Rog (2015) and Ljubljana (III) (2018), which we discussed earlier.
