Some 200 Dutch container barges are backed up in a massive jam on the Rhine river in Germany as salvage experts wait to raise a ship carrying sulphuric acid which sank last week.

Special equipment to raise the sunken barge is on its way from Rotterdam by boat but has been held up because high water levels mean it cannot go under a bridge at Duisburg, news agency ANP said.

Experts think the water level in the Rhine will begin going down on Tuesday.
