31 Jul 2015 / Germany, Kiel Canal

Precondition for lock entry

The Kiel Canal authorities have announced that due to limited lock capacity it will be mandatory to check efficiency of vessels' manoeuvrebility and astern operation before entering Kiel-Canal locks, either from Elbe River or Kiel-Fjord. The result of the manoeuvres must be reported by VHF (Kiel Channel 1 or Kiel-Channel 4) to the lockmaster. If manoeuvres are found to be unsatisfactory, entry to the locks may be refused.
