A freight ship from Austria navigates the Main near Ochsenfurt, Bavaria, Franconia, Lower Franconia, Germany, on April 18, 2026. The inland waterway shipping industry faces pressure due to rising fuel and bunkering costs impacting freight transport, following the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, which disrupted global oil flows and increased energy prices.
