OBERWESEL , Aug 17 —A stranded cargo ship caused traffic to be halted today at the Rhine river in western Germany after suffering a technical fault, authorities said, at a time when water transport was already ailing from a drought.
The machine damage came as water levels in the Rhine had dropped to critical points at several locations, including at nearby Kaub—a known bottleneck for shipping where the river runs narrow and shallow.While vessels are still able to navigate at low water levels, they are forced to reduce their loads to avoid the risk of running aground.
Transport on the Rhine has gained significance in recent months because among cargo moved on the river is coal, now all the more necessary as Germany seeks to wean itself off Russian gas.
