Dear valued customers,
We would like to inform on applicable surcharges during low water situation in the river Rhine (measure point Kaub), which is a low water situation at measure point Kaub - middle part of the river Rhine starts as from 1.50 meter and lower.
Barge transports passing the measuring point “Kaub” are affected due to draft restrictions and other locations might be affected in consequence, too.
Kindly note that in case of water levels at Kaub falling below 81cm or Duisburg-Ruhrort below 181cm, we regret that a loading guarantee for your cargo cannot be granted anymore.
