In light of the currently extremely low water levels on the Rhine River, transports are severely affected due to draft restrictions. Consequently low water surcharge needs to be applied for both Import and Export, with immediate effect, as illustrated in the tables below:
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 level at Kaub falling below 81cm, we regret a loading guarantee cannot be granted anymore at that point.
We thank you for your understanding and shall keep you informed once water levels are back to normal.
