Record-low water levels on the Rhine River, a key European transport route, are disrupting barge capacity and supply chains, leading to higher freight rates and longer delivery times, while climate change and geopolitical tensions increase supply chain volatility.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Logistics Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must urgently reassess supply chains relying on the Rhine and push for alternative transport options now. Waiting for water levels to recover risks costly production halts and strained supplier relations.
