During attempts to get off, the Serbian master created a gravel wall of 70 centimeters height which threatened all ship traffic on the Danube due to its low water level. The river was barred for ship traffic thus between Deggendorf and Straubing until dredgers have removed the obstruction. Refloating attempts may only be carried out when there is enough water depth.
