The following vessels will be obliged to accept tug assistance in order to protect the lock gates:
- All vessels (traffic group 3 or higher) entering the locks first; and
- All vessels (traffic group 3 or higher) entering the locks behind the first vessel and running risk of hitting the lockgate directly
