Deepening shipping channel in Wolfgangsee proposed for navigation improvement
In the picturesque Austrian lake of Wolfgangsee, the water levels have been on the rise, thanks to recent rainfall. According to reports from the Wolfgangsee Shipping Company, the water level has increased by a significant 20 centimeters. This rise has brought the water level above the required mark, ensuring that tourist vessels can now navigate the lake without issue.
The water level increase was initially a cause for concern at the eastern shore in Strobl, where the low water levels in early March made it impossible for ships to dock. However, the recent rise in water levels has improved the situation, allowing for the resumption of shipping operations.
Managing Director Mario Mischelin of the Wolfgangsee Shipping Company has made a statement regarding the current situation, assuring the public that the company is taking steps to adapt to potential future changes in water levels. In a bid to ensure safe docking under lower water levels, the navigation channel in Strobl will be lowered by one meter.
The Wolfgangsee Shipping Company is also taking other precautions to ensure operations can continue even if water levels drop again. Measures may include modifying docking infrastructure, using adjustable or floating docks, enhancing navigation and docking procedures, and monitoring water levels regularly.
Despite these challenges, the current situation in Strobl allows for the resumption of shipping operations. The water levels at Strobl, made of gravel rather than rocks, are now such that ships can dock without issue.
For precise and updated details about the Wolfgangsee Shipping Company's specific measures at Strobl, you may need to consult official company communications, local news sources, or direct inquiries to the shipping company itself.
