Ships in Romania under foreign flag

[Th. Dorgeist]

Ships in Romania under foreign flag

in the Second World War were

15 Tugs under Greek flag
9 Tugs under French flag
1 Tug under Italian flag
on the Danube in the employment.

With the goods boats still the flags of Belgium, Great Britain, the Netherlands etc. came.

My question: What became from these ships 1944/45 as Romania became communist?

Schiffe in Rumänien unter ausländischer Flagge


Im zweiten Weltkrieg waren z. B.

15 Tugs unter griechischer Flagge
9 Tugs unter französischer Flagge
1 Tug unter italienischer Flagge

auf der Donau im Einsatz.

Bei den Warenbooten kamen noch die Flaggen von Belgien, Großbritannien, Niederlande usw.

Meine Frage:

Was wurde aus diesen Schiffen 1944/45 als Rumänien kommunistisch wurde ?

Grüße

There is an album published in 1943 including all ships in Romanian waters, the were more than a hundred with self propulsion and much more barges. Be more specific.

After the war and during the communist period in Romania activated, sometimes having good contracts, SFND - Societe Francais de Navigation Danubienne. They sold some of their 100 years old ships in Germany and Austria in 1992-1995 as the tug Friederich Mistral and Lavoisier. So, we may say, the French interests were very well guarded.
Greek ships were mainly sold to the Romanian or Bulgarian Governements.
