  • Low Water Surcharge levels according to the Electronic Waterways Information System, please visit this webpage for more information
  • Export shipments: Date of empty container delivery at customer´s facility

These costs are charged to Maersk and will be passed directly to our customers. Kindly note that if water levels are below 81cm at Kaub, we cannot give a loading guarantee anymore.

The low water situation is an exceptional and unforeseeable situation that is beyond our control and cannot be predicted, neither the severity nor the duration.

We appreciate your understanding and support to overcome this extraordinary situation together.
