Low water on the Rhine has slowed down a ship transport for the Mercedes Sprinter plant in Düsseldorf. According to the Handelsblatt, a cargo ship was stuck on the shrinking river – it is now free again, but departure continues to be delayed.
You might be wondering what a single cargo ship has to do with a car plant. Quite simply: part of the Sprinter vans from the Mercedes plant in Düsseldorf are shipped out via the Rhine. Without the waterway, this supply chain grinds to a halt – exactly what the ongoing drought is now triggering.
What happened?
The water level of the Rhine has dropped so far that a ship bound for Mercedes could no longer continue. As the Handelsblatt reports, the ship is now free again but cannot yet depart. The drought has
thrown a wrench into a planned delivery – for now
What this means for daily operations at the plant
The Sprinter plant in Düsseldorf loads part of its vans onto ships that roll over the Rhine. When this route is interrupted by low water, this supply chain stalls – which, according to the Handelsblatt, is precisely what is happening right now. How long the delay will last remains unclear.
