⚠ ALERT
Summary: Maersk has implemented a Low Water Surcharge for barge transport to and from key inland terminals in the Netherlands due to drought-induced low water levels and the temporary closure of the Twentekanaal. This surcharge reflects increased operational costs and capacity constraints affecting inland container movements and is expected to continue until water levels normalize.
Risk Trigger
