Bulgaria resumes Danube shipping
02.03.2012
Bulgaria has reopened navigation on its stretch of the Danube river after improved conditions and the lack of ice drifts. The ban was introduced by the Executive Agency "Maritime Administration" on February, 8th due to heavy metrological situation.
To date all Danube ports work properly. The only exception were the two northeastern ports of Silistra and Tutrakan, where massive ice floes moving downriver damaged port facilities over the past days.
Executive Agency "Maritime Administration" warned all boat captains to navigate with heightened caution and at their own risk. |
