Energy BulletsHomepagemarkets-real-timeBulletCommodities

From June 1, all barge transportation on the Rhine will be suspended due to high water levels, Maersk said, cited by Bloomberg.

  • “Please be aware that capacities will be limited, and some bookings may experience delays or cancellations.,” the statement said.
  • Rising water levels will likely lead to a sailing ban on part of the Rhine beginning June 1, according to Riverlake.
  • Levels at Pegel Maxau are expected to reach 750cm June 1, above the maximum navigable level.
  • “Current forecasts do not indicate how long this will remain in effect, but it is likely to last several days,” Riverlake said, cited by Bloomberg.
  • A prolonged sailing ban could tighten inland German supplies for some products and hamper refinery activity.
  • However, the European market in general has been largely well supplied at present.
