English term or phrase: duty voyages
World War I was a time of hardship for crews and equipment. Furthermore, service was interrupted by a great number of seizures by the German authorities, and by demands from the British government.

The Company was also required to make ***duty voyages***, in part by the Danish government, to ensure vital supplies of coal and fodder to Denmark, and in part by the British authorities, in order to have bunker coal delivered in return.

All the ships that were in the U.S.A. were chartered by American shipping companies from 1917 until some time after the end of the war, for service between the U.S.A. and the West Indies or South America.

義務の航海
Explanation:
I'm not sure if this is a set phrase but I think it means they were forced by the government to make voyages for the benefit of the country (not the company).
