Low water levels in Germany still hampering steelmakers

摘要

Low levels on German waterways are continuing to hamper the supply of raw materials to German steelmakers and steel shipments, sources told S&P Global Platts Thursday. A Thyssenkrupp spokesman told Platts the company was still loading lighter-than-usual raw material cargoes and with increased frequency, adding that the steelmaker is using additional logistics suppliers. As reported, the situation had been ongoing for several weeks.
