- Active:1928-1935▼Country:HUCity:BudapestAfter Worl War I., one of the biggest former Hungarian trampshipping company, the Levante, was firstly reorganised under Italian flag. It established a Fiume based Italian branch under the name Levante S. A. N. Four of its remaining six ships were renamed in 1924 two ran under their original names. The fleet consisting of the CONTE STEFANO TISZA, KOSSUTH, ORVIETO, ORTE, LEVANTE and CORVIN steamers was sold in 1934. In the meantime Levante tried to sort out its situation as a Hungarian company in 1923 attempting to buy new ships. It only succeded in 1928 when the s/s HONVÉD was taken over and run under Hungarian flag. In 1934, Levante sold the HONVÉD as well because of hardships of the ecomomic crisis and other circumstances.
