MV Tibor Szamueli

MV Tibor Szamueli, IMO 7505334, was a Soviet and later Russian barge carrier. Derivatives of the Seabee system, she and her sister ship, MV Yulius Fuchik, were built in the late 1970s by the Finnish state-owned shipbuilder Valmet in Vuosaari shipyard. As the demand for lighter transport fell in the 1990s, she was sold and eventually broken up.

The ship was named for the Hungarian revolutionary Tibor Szamuely, who had a major role in the short-lived Hungarian Soviet Republic of 1919, her sister ship being called for the Czech Communist hero and martyr of the anti-Nazi Resistance Julius Fučík.
