# Maersk raises low water surcharge for Dutch inland barge services

> Maersk raised its low-water surcharge for inland barge shipments to and from selected terminals in the Netherlands, effective for movements from November 3, 2026. Low water, navigation restrictions and the temporary closure of the Twentekanaal are driving the additional charges, which vary by route and container size.

## Why it matters

Restricted inland navigation raises transport costs and can delay cargo flows in the affected Dutch routes. The direct price effect is on freight rather than a specified feed commodity.
