It's a space ship story built around family merchant ships travelling between star systems and it is certainly enjoyable from that aspect. What makes the story for me is the character of the protagonist, Sandor Kreja. He is the very last of his family, running a haunted (not literally) ship all alone.
The Company Wars. by C.J. Cherryh includes books Downbelow Station, Merchanter's Luck (Company Wars, #2), Alliance Space (Alliance-Union Universe), and several more. See the complete The Company Wars series book list in order, box sets or omnibus editions, and companion titles.
