Low water levels on the Rhine: Inland waterway transport to Rotterdam and Antwerp remains restricted

Water levels on the Rhine are falling again. The continuing low water levels currently do not allow for reliable and economically viable inland waterway transport.

Therefore, with immediate effect and until further notice, we are unable to accept orders for inland waterway transport to and from Rotterdam and Antwerp.

We are continuously monitoring the Rhine water levels and remain in close contact with our partners. As soon as conditions allow for the reliable resumption of inland waterway services, we will inform you immediately.

Neuss–Rotterdam rail connection remains available

Our “Quirinus Express” rail service remains fully available and offers an alternative transport option.

Our Customer Service teams in Neuss and Rotterdam are happy to assist you with any questions or in finding alternative transport solutions.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
