A new provider starts to become active in river shipping on the Danube. As of May 8, 2009, the Eco Danube GmbH, based in Enns in Upper Austria, is to offer a new regular liner service from Deggendorf via Enns to Giurgiu (Romania) and Rousse (Bulgaria). The pilot project comprises one departure every three weeks. During the initial stage mainly rolling and heavy cargo will be forwarded on the routes to south-eastern Europe. Shipments in the opposite direction are dominated by new-car importations from Romania.
