“A growing fleet of specially designed low-water vessels operated by Cologne-based logistics group HGK is helping keep barge transport running to chemical sites on the Rhine, as the river’s water level at the critical Kaub gauge approaches single digits.” — source, 2026-10-24
HGK operates low-draught tankers that kept moving in August 2026 when conventional barges could not, so it can earn the elevated rates. The article concerns chemical cargo; whether its tankers carried fuel to the Upper Rhine is not shown.
