Maersk's Operations Disrupted by Severe Flooding in Germany

Shipping giant Maersk's truck and rail services have been heavily impacted by severe flooding in Germany. The disaster has led to multiple deaths and mass evacuations in southern Germany. Maersk is currently assessing planned shipments and capacities in the affected zones to reschedule cargo movements amid the ongoing crisis.

Shipping group Maersk's truck and rail operations have been hit by heavy flooding in Germany, the Danish company said on Wednesday.

Several people died and thousands were forced to leave

their homes in southern Germany late last week as the water cut off some areas, local authorities reported. "As the situation is expected to continue, it is difficult to predict its full impact," Maersk said in a statement.

Maersk teams are reviewing already planned shipments and available capacity in the affected areas while working to reschedule cargo movements, it added.
