This figure refers to the highest navigable water level (HSW) — the level at which navigation is suspended. So as long as you are allowed to move at all, the Moselle is no higher than that and there is at least this much room under the bridge. At mean water there is considerably more.
The nearest gauge with an HSW value (Trier (downstream)) is 7.7 km away. Over that distance the water surface drops noticeably at high water — an extrapolation would come out too favourable, and so unsafe. Beyond 3 km we do not calculate.

The figure applies in the middle of the navigation span. At the edge of the arch there is less. Aerial, bimini, radar arch and flagstaff all count — and so does the wash of oncoming craft.
