Germany’s Rhine River is sinking to alarming new lows as relentless summer heat and
weeks without enough rain drain one of Europe’s most important commercial waterways. Falling water levels are making navigation increasingly difficult, forcing cargo vessels to reduce loads while leaving some ships stranded. The disruption threatens a vital transport artery used to move fuel, chemicals and industrial goods across Germany and neighbouring economies. With extreme heat continuing to squeeze European waterways, businesses face another costly logistical headache. How much worse could the Rhine crisis become if meaningful rainfall does not return soon?
