Imagini exclusive cu vasul de croazieră care a eșuat pe Dunăre, la Mehedinți. Dunărea, la cote periculos de joase
The Swiss-flagged cruise ship Viking Ullur ran aground on the Romanian bank of the Danube due to extremely low water levels. The incident occurred on July 28, 2026, near Salcia, with 186 passengers and 52 crew members on board, all safe. The ship was stuck outside the navigable channel, and no external assistance has been requested yet. This event is linked to severe drought conditions affecting Europe, with the Danube's flow reaching a historic low of 1,650 m³/s. Operations to refloat the vessel will depend on navigation conditions and water levels in that section of the river.
