Merchant shipping along the Danube impeded because of the river’s low level

The low level of the Danube is already causing problems for navigation along the river. Shoots have been formed around the islands of Belene, Vardim and Batin. “The vessel draft was set at 2.10 m, compared to 2.20 m in normal conditions. This causes losses to ship owners because they have to load a small amount of cargo.

The level of the Danube River at Rousse fell by another 3 cm in the last 24 hours and is currently 90 cm. In the next two days, it is expected to fall by another 4 cm. The level at Silistra is also falling. In the last 24 hours, it fell by 10 cm and is currently 112 cm. A new decrease of 8 cm is expected there in the next two days.
