MV Harambee was a German-built general cargo ship, initially ordered as the Reg IV. Bought while under construction by a different company, she was launched in 1953 and served with the German Merchant Navy under the name Belgrano, making voyages to South America until 1966. She was sold to an African company, renamed Harambee, and served for another thirteen years, before being sold once more, renamed Arambee, and scrapped in Taiwan shortly afterwards.
