    In 1939 the Royal Hungarian Freeport established a Shipping Company, too in order to link the Danube and South-America. Vitez Felix Bornemissza the director of the port ordered 3 river-sea going ships at the Ganz Shipyard under the names HUNGARIA, BRAZILIA and ARGENTINA. These ships would have carried the famous Ganz Motor Locomotives to America and would have returned with cargo of coffee. At the end of 1941 negotiations ended with South-American partners and laid the base of a Central-European Coffe Center in Budapest which could have provide coffe to all Europe. The new ships would heve been owned by the Csepel Hungaro-Swedish Shipping Co. The shipyard managed to complete the first South-American ship - the HUNGARIA - by 1945. No need to mention that she was soon taken over and away by the Soviets, so went up in smoke the South-American plans with the Soviet occupation, too.
