Rhine water levels ease to fresh three-month low: data

Water levels at nine locations on the Rhine fell Wednesday to 3.10 meters, their lowest since April 11, data from German Waterways showed.
Warmer weather across Northwest Europe has lowered water levels in the last few weeks, with implications for oil barges moving up the river.
Traders said barges could not always be fully loaded as water levels were too shallow in some areas.
Canal workers in Germany also went on strike this week, preventing shipping in some canals and preventing some refineries from exporting their production by ship, according to traders.
The key points surveyed are Duisburg, Dusseldorf, Cologne, Coblenz, Kaub, Mainz, Mannheim, Karlsruhe and Basel.
