Bulgaria: 60 Ships Stranded Near Belene Island BGNES

A total of 60 ships have been stranded near the Belene island because of the low water level of the Danube, announced the Maritime Administration Executive Agency.

This is the most critical area right now and there are problems with normal shipping. In order to ensure order and safety, a patrol boat has been sent to the area.

Despite the fact that all ships have been warned about the navigational situation, there are captains who do not take into account the restrictions and, due to their attempts to pass through, their ships are temporarily stranded.
