Jadrolinija, based in Rijeka, was also known as the Adriatic Line, officially changed name 1991 from Jadranska Linijska plovidba to Jadrolinija, by which it had previously been known, according to Lloyds although initially they showed it as first Jadrolinja P.O. and then as Javno poduzeće "Jadrolinja" P.O..
In 1986, the company owned 49 ships (14 cruisers, 31 coastal ferries and 4 internetional ferries) In 1996, it was organized as a joint-stock company; in 2001, it operated 48 ships and employed over 1,500 workers.

Jadrolinija entirely changed their visual identity in 1990. The house flag of the company, as seen on their headquarters and several ships in Rijeka in summer 1999, is white with the company emblem in the middle, consisting of red vertical lines forming a lozenge-like shape and the blue initial "J", and in the hoist upper corner a red bend and a blue bend in the lower fly corner.

Brown's 1995 [lgr95] shows a version in the name of their subsidiary Jadrolinija Cruises Ltd. with the diamond being shown as wholly red but this can be put down to the impossiblilty of showing the design of 19 red and white vertical stripes in small images.

The Austro-Croatian Steamship Company was established in 1906 in Punat. Merged in 1912 with Krcko parobrodarsko društvo (KrK Steamship Company) from Šilo, the company served lines in the Kvarner Bay with four steamships. According to Talbot-Booth [tbb37], it amalgamated in 1922 into Jadranska plovidba.
The company emblem, as shown on a share, is a shield divided per fess argent a seven-pointed star gules and, maybe, azure an anchor in bend sinister argent. This is most probably based on the coat of arms of the most inportant noble family of the region, Frankopan (Frangepan): "Per fess gules and or in the first a mullet of the last". The Frankopan were lords of the Krk (Italian, Veglia) island, whose most important natural harbour is Punat. The Frankopan's heritage is still strong and venerated on Krk, therefore it would not be unusual that their arms served as the basis for the steamship company's emblem.
