Lock still closed awaiting assessment of collision damage

Following the collision with the big south lock-gate at Kiel-Holtenau yesterday (20 February), the survey of the vessel has been completed but the assessment of the damaged lock-gate is still ongoing.

As a result, the big south lock remains closed and only one big lock chamber is currently in operation. The expected waiting time at Kiel-Holtenau locks is up to 3 hours.
