Over 100 ships of high capacity are locked in ice on the river for over a month.

The situation on the Danube Delta becomes more serious on a daily basis.
Pieces of ice were dozens of kilometers long, and the thickness of the ice, subjected to permanent pressure currents, sometimes reached over 6 meters thick.
