Bulgaria has officially started its preparations to assume the presidency of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR)
Emergency measures have been undertaken to provide navigation safety over the very low water levels of the Bulgarian section of the Danube River.
These levels continue to go down and threaten the full stop of any navigation, the Maritime Administration Executive Agency in Ruse warns.
If this happens, it will be a repeat of last summer when it inflicted huge losses for ship owners.
In the area of the city of Ruse there as a forecast for an additional decrease of 12 cm in the course of the next few days.
A sand shallow has formed at kilometer 562 close to the Belene island, nearly blockading ships. Effective Saturday, ships with large loads are banned there.
On Thursday, a cruise ship with about 100 foreign tourists got stuck near the town of Svishtov over the low water level. The passengers had to spend one hour in the shallow before the vessel was pulled out by another one.
