Oil product barge traffic on the Rhine River may resume this week amid forecasts for drier weather after rains caused flooding in Germany, the Czech Republic and Austria.
“The industry is hopeful that the water levels will decrease again and that things will come back to normal in the next few days,” Joachim Hessler, operations manager at Maintank Schiffahrtsgesellschaft mbH, a barge-owner based in Woerth near Frankfurt, said today.
