Editing Freidorf (section)

===Shipping===
The first record of the [[Bega Canal]] section at Freidorf dates back to 1796. The condition of the canal is described by the pontoon corporal, Franz Ulrichsberger, in a report of 20 October 1796, written in Timișoara following an inspection carried out by order of the Banat General Military Command: "''From Temeswar to Freidorf you can navigate the canal with full load. From Freidorf to Deutschsanktmichael, the fully loaded vessels cannot pass, only if they will be partially unloaded, the cause of the slightly lower water level being that in several places the canal has up to 86 embankments.''"

Naval transport, although currently very poorly developed, is still practiced on the [[Bega Canal]]. In the past, heavy beet barges came to the canal for the Banat Sugar Factory. The peasants were also brought from the villages on the [[Bega (Tisza)|Bega]] by various ships to trade the fruits and vegetables in Timișoara. Currently, the works that were started at the Bega Canal, aim to reopen the navigation.
