Canal dues suspended

23 Jul 2020 / Kiel Canal, Germany

The government has today confirmed that Kiel Canal dues will be suspended from 00:01am tomorrow, Thursday 23 July 23rd, until at least 31 December.

The suspension of traffic dues is a very important step in restoring the competitiveness of the Canal.

Hygiene and distance rules are taken very seriously at the Kiel Canal. There has not been a single COVID-19 case among its pilots, helmsmen and agents, making the Kiel Canal the safest and most cost-efficient shortcut into and out of the Baltic Sea.
