Germany's Rhine navigation nearly halts
The Waterways and Maritime Navigation Authority in Germany has reported that the water level of the Rhine River near Cologne has recorded a historic low, leading to a nearly complete halt in navigation activities. The level reached 49 centimeters, with expectations of it dropping to 47 centimeters by next Sunday. This is approximately 22 centimeters lower than the previous record low recorded in 2018. This severe decline in water levels is hindering the passage of ships and making navigation more difficult, as the movement of vessels has changed and they are mostly running empty. A minimum water depth of at least 20 centimeters below the keel is necessary to ensure safety, a requirement no longer met under current drought conditions.
