As of May 8, 2009, the Eco Danube GesmbH, based in Enns in Upper Austria, is to offer a new regular liner service from Deggendorf via Enns to Giurgiu (Romania) and Rousse (Bulgaria). The pilot project comprises one departure every three weeks. During the initial stage mainly rolling and heavy cargo will be forwarded on the routes to south-eatsern Europe.
