Danube's flow hinders Stentor's yacht deliveries

The Danube’s reduced flow is harming not only the electrical power production, but also manufacturers of products destined to wealthy people. Stentor, a company based in Oltenita that produces luxury yachts, is facing serious problems because of the river’s low flows, as it cannot deliver its products, Stefan Negoita, the company’s general manager, told Ziarul Financiar. The Danube has registered its lowest level in 160 years because of the drought in Central Europe. In the following weeks, the company is supposed to deliver four yachts, of which one is worth 1.1 million euros, but Negoita thinks the delivery will be delayed. “We cannot deliver them through mud,” he stated. Also, representatives of Drobeta Turnu Severin shipyard have also recently announced they were unable to deliver two ships worth 350 billion ROL because of the same problem. ZF
