СЗРП

Russian to English Other Transport / Transportation / Shipping
Пережив зиму 1941–42 г. в блокадном Ленинграде и потеряв всех родных, я весной 1942 г. устроилась мотористом в СЗРП, т. к. до войны занималась в яхт-клубе «Водник» водо-моторным спортом. В мае 1942 г. наши катера отправили на «Дорогу жизни» перевозить людей и грузы, начиная с продовольствия
и кончая взрывчаткой, и оттуда меня хотели возвратить в город, как дочь «вра-га народа».

Sigh...

In English: Northwest River Shipping -- http://www.vbcom.ru/eng/about/history/

By the order of the Board of People's Commissariat of January 30th, 1923, Northwest River Shipping was founded. At that date, the shipping company owned 500 vessels. That very year, Volga State Shipping was created, too.

Deborah, "Northwest River Shipping" was what the company was called during the period that your text describes.
See this paragraph from http://www.vbcom.ru/eng/about/history:
From 1941 through 1944, ships of Northwest River Shipping defended Leningrad. In 1942 – 1943, ships of Volga Shipping took part in the battle of Stalingrad.

It became known as the "JS Northwest Shipping Company" much later, as the text shows.
