After five months, the ports on the Upper Elbe are once again served by cargo ships

After five months of low water, cargo ships are once again calling at the ports on the Upper Elbe. Eleven cargoes weighing a total of 900 tons were loaded onto two pushed convoys at the Alberthafen in Dresden, the operating company SBO announced on Wednesday. The cargo included transformers and coolers for machines and rotors, which were shipped to Hamburg, Antwerp and Dorsten in North Rhine-Westphalia. Due to good forecasts for the Elbe water level, further shipments are planned for the port in Dresden. Several transformers are to be loaded to Hamburg and Hanau by the end of November.
