De-watering operations

Due to persistent rainfall, the Kiel Canal Authority has commenced de-watering operations at Brunsbuttel until late afternoon today (15 January). All lock chambers are in use for this operation and no traffic through the lock is possible. Consequently the current waiting times prior to entering the Kiel Canal for ships with LOA >125m and/or draft >6,50 are: - Kiel-Holtenau: about 5 hours - Brunsbuttel: about 8 hours (For information about operations in Germany contatc the GAC UK Hub Agency Centre at [email protected]) Source: Satori & Berger - GAC agent
