Due to Flooding: DDSG Blue Danube Transported "Only" 300,000 Passengers in 2024
The domestic inland shipping company pointed out on Thursday in a press release the devastating floods, which made the Danube impassable for several days - and the Danube Canal in Vienna was even closed to line traffic for several weeks.
Last year, the DDSG Blue Danube put the MS Austria and MS Vienna, two new fleet members, into service and took over the ships of the Lower Austrian Brandner Shipping, increasing the company's fleet to nine ships. Currently, 15 apprentices are being trained. The DDSG Blue Danube was founded in 1995 as the successor company to the First Danube Steamship Company established in 1829. It is 50 percent owned by the Vienna Holding and the Verkehrsbüro.
