Marko's father Nikola was leading shipbuilder in Mali Lošinj, among others building the 700 t bark Leone, largest in the Lošinj fleet, and the 2500 t nava Imperatrice Elisabetta, largest on the Adriatic. In 1885 began building iron ships, Marko built 71 ships totalling to over 9000 t. The steamship company was established in 1911 with 7 steamships. The company closed in 1937.
Marco U. Martinolich apparently subsequently located himself in Trieste and in the late 1950s to latter 1960s was again a ship-owner under the title of Marco U. Martinolich Societé di Navigazione per Azioni, still using the same flag as shown by US Navy 1961 and Stewart 1963.
