Shipping on the Danube is facing severe problems due to the drastic drop in the water level, with shipowners reporting daily losses of hundreds of thousands of euros. In the area of kilometer 526, navigation has been completely stopped for channel deepening works. The flow of the Danube is well below the multi-year average and forecasts do not indicate significant rainfall in the near future. Shipping companies are facing major difficulties, loading only part of their capacity, and the authorities are working on solutions, but without rain the situation remains critical.
