Overview
- Authorities said navigation through the Main–Danube Canal lock resumes Tuesday morning after Monday's shutdown caused by an oil film.
- A freight vessel likely lost hydraulic oil from a bushing at the drive shaft due to a technical defect, according to the waterway authority.
- A specialist firm pumped oil from the lock for hours until evening, and an assessor later confirmed the cleanup’s effectiveness.
- The affected ship moored behind the lock for inspection, and officials did not specify the quantity of oil released.
- Night traffic from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. had already been paused because of ice and the lack of icebreaker support on the route.
