Maersk reinstates Rhine terminal charges amid renewed low water

Maersk has reinstated contingency surcharges for cargo moving through the Bonn and Andernach inland terminals as renewed low water conditions disrupt barge operations on the Rhine.

The carrier has also updated its Low Water Surcharge for barge transportation serving selected inland terminals in the Netherlands.

All three measures apply to inland movements from 3 November 2026 and will remain in place until operating conditions improve.

Regular barge operations to and from the Andernach and Bonn terminals are again affected by declining Rhine water levels.
