Weather - Floods: Restrictions for Rhine shipping continue
There are still restrictions on shipping traffic on the Rhine due to flooding. High water mark I has been exceeded at the Speyer, Worms, Mainz, Oestrich, Bingen, Kaub, Koblenz, Andernach and Oberwinter gauges, the Directorate-General for Waterways and Shipping (GDWS) in Bonn announced on Tuesday. This includes, for example, a maximum speed of 20 kilometers per hour. High water mark II, above which ships are no longer allowed to sail, was not exceeded at any of the gauges.
There are no restrictions on the Moselle and Saar rivers. Following the flooding caused by rain and thaw, the water levels in the Rhine are currently falling. However, due to the forecast rain, "water levels could gradually rise again from Thursday", according to the Rhineland-Palatinate Flood Forecasting Center.
