Major Impact as Ships Must Detour Over 100 Kilometers Due to One-Way Traffic on IJssel River
Rijkswaterstaat has implemented one-way traffic on the IJssel between Westervoort and Zutphen due to extremely low water levels, forcing inland shipping vessels to detour over 100 kilometers. This measure affects companies like Container Terminal Doesburg and Koninklijke Binnenvaart Nederland, causing increased costs, longer travel times, and reduced cargo capacity. While deemed necessary for safety, the disruption adds significant logistical and financial burdens to businesses already facing summer drought restrictions.
