  • The water level at the Kaub bottleneck has reached a new low; after measuring 16 centimetres early in the week, it is forecast to reach nine centimetres by Saturday, compared with 25 centimetres in October 2018.

  • Jens Schwanen warned that the Rhine was effectively no longer navigable from end to end, while Thomas Puls said transport routes south of Kaub could be completely cut off.

  • A Lanxess facility in Krefeld-Uerdingen has halted operations because of missing precursors, while the company is shifting transport to rail and trucks where possible and reports costs in the low single-digit millions.

  • Covestro has declared force majeure for a facility in Dormagen and temporarily suspended selected delivery obligations, but says it cannot yet estimate the disruption’s duration or costs.
  • Now the state must clear the way so production can continue: suspend nationwide Sunday driving bans, open emergency transshipment sites, raise the permissible gross vehicle weight for trucks, and give priority to rail transport. We must not wait for a transport problem to become a production stoppage.
    — Wolfgang Große Entrup, Chief Executive Officer of the German Chemical Industry Association (VCI), commenting on Rhine low-water and potential production stoppage
