“Rien ne va plus“ on the German section of the Danube

Navigation stopped on the German section of the Danube and parts of the Main-Danube Canal

Navigation had to be stopped on the German section of the Danube. The Waterways and Shipping Office Regensburg, competent for navigation on the Danube, imposed an official ban on navigation with regard to the safety of plants and shipping on 7 February. Parts of the Main-Danube Canal are affected by the measure as well. An end of the ban is currently not within sight.

The ice with a thickness of up to 15 centimetres and ice floes up to 200 meters long prompted the Water and Shipping Authority of Regensburg to impose a total-lock of the Danube. Shipping traffic mostly stood still already. This was due to the shut down of the Kachlet and Jochenstein locks since last weekend.
