European shippers say they are losing millions because a lengthy stretch of the Danube — one of Europe's key waterways — is stuck in the longest freeze in recent memory, Knoxville News reported.

European shippers say they are losing millions because a lengthy stretch of the Danube — one of Europe's key waterways — is stuck in the longest freeze in recent memory, Knoxville News reported.

Huge chunks of ice floated down the middle of the Danube on Friday in southern Romania while water close to the banks remained iced over, with barges, boats and ships tangled in a wintry web.

The Danube flows for 1,785 miles (2,872 kilometers) through nine countries, starting in Germany's Black Forest, before passing through Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, and Ukraine.
