The municipality of Fischamend wants to save Danube from the deadly waves of the large catamaran Twin City Liner – if necessary with a lawsuit. Lawyers are already in the starting blocks.
Wriggling fish larvae, destroyed bird eggs – Daniel Albrecht, chairman of the Fischamender Environmental Committee, and eco-municipal councilor Tobias Leister repeat this ecological lament. The two stand shivering on the banks of the Danube in Fischamend: “The powerful waves of the Twin City Liner wash the fish eggs into the dry gravel banks.”
At 60 km/h through the river paradise
To protect the endangered species along the almost six kilometer long riverbank area, a lawsuit will now be filed against Wien Holding as the operator of the liner. “The catamaran plowing through the river paradise at 60 km/h has a devastating effect on the ecosystem,” says Petrijünger veteran Helmut Belanyecz, who has strong roots in these areas.
Calling all Danube captains
But you have to hurry: the catamaran will be sailing again soon. To stop the death of the defenseless fauna and flora, experienced lawyers Dr. Rudolf Gürtler and Dr. Gert Folk worked on behalf of the municipality of Fischamend. “The consequences of the fast traffic in this part of the great river are unbearable. The entire ecosystem suffers significantly,” the two lawyers said. Your (still) extrajudicial appeal to all captains: “Slow down the pace!”
