Adjustment of the Low Water Surcharge

Due to low rainfall, the Kaub Gauge will go down to a level of <81 cm in the course of the day. And because of the reduced loads barges can carry, additional tonnage has to be chartered on the market.

Please note the following Low Water surcharges, which apply for gauge levels at and below the 80 cm mark until further notice:
