Waren (dpa / mv) - Regardless of the mild temperatures, a closed ice armor still stops any shipping on the Müritz.
The spokesman for the two largest providers - the blue-white fleet and the white fleet Müritz - confirmed in goods on Wednesday.
"We hope that we can at least start at Easter," said the spokesman for the White Fleet Müritz.
The ice cover is not so strong that the ships - as in previous years - have to be chopped free as a precaution.
"We are preparing to start as soon as the corona restrictions are lifted," said the blue-white fleet.
It would be best if the ice cream and the coronavirus disappear at the same time.
The water police warned against stepping on the ice.
It has already started to thaw on the banks.
In general, the ice thickness is unpredictable.
A good two weeks ago, frost of up to minus 16 degrees had caused the Müritz - with an area of 117 square kilometers the largest inland lake in Germany - to freeze over so much that the ice was up to 20 centimeters thick.
Now experts have measured five centimeters of ice in goods and up to 15 centimeters in the protected Sietower Bay.
Shipping providers, boat shed owners and jetty operators have above all respect for strong winds, which could push the ice open and press the floes with great force against buildings and ships.
