由于莱茵河持续高温和低水位，巴斯夫欧洲公司于 8 月 6 日宣布必须调整其路德维希港工厂的生产和物流。
从莱茵河中抽取的水量（例如用于冷却目的）受到当局的限制；此外，冷却水的再进入温度被限制在一定温度。为满足这些要求，巴斯夫必须逐步调整路德维希港工厂的生产。
Moreover, if the water level continues to fall, goods can only be transported over the Rhine to a limited extent. At present – despite the low water level in the Rhine – inland waterway transport can still be maintained through the use of a larger number of vessels. In view of the weather and water level forecasts, BASF is preparing to shift to alternative modes of transport in consultation with its customers.
在个别情况下，如果当前的天气状况持续存在，可能会出现配送瓶颈。巴斯夫在这方面与其客户保持密切联系。
