Europe Dodges a Rhine Crisis for the Worst Possible Reason

Source Summary

The Rhine River has slightly risen from its mid-August record low at Kaub's gauge (below 10 cm), but relief is limited. Barges still cannot carry normal loads, constraining transport capacity along the industrial corridor from Rotterdam and Antwerp to southern Germany, eastern France, and Switzerland. This results in expensive freight, reduced chemical production, and uneven fuel supply.
