River Rhine - Revision of Low Water Surcharge
In light of the currently extremely low water levels on the Rhine River, barge transports are severely affected due to draft restrictions.
Consequently we shall apply a low water surcharge (LWO/LWD) for both Import and Export, with immediate effect, as illustrated in the tables below: (all amounts in EUR)
Kindly appreciate that these costs, whilst charged to Hapag-Lloyd by River barge operators, are for account of the cargo and will be passed on accordingly.
In case of water levels at Kaub falling below 81cm, we regret a loading guarantee for your cargo cannot be granted anymore at that point.
For ease of reference, the actual water levels can also be monitored on the german "elwis.de" website.
We thank you for your understanding and shall keep you informed once water levels are back to normal.
