Lock closed after vessel collision

31 Aug 2020 / Kiel Canal, Germany

The Kiel Canal Authority has closed one big lock at Kiel, due to severe damage of the lock gate after a vessel collision yesterday (30 August). There is therefore only one big lock currently available at Kiel.

Repair works will start in due course, but it is not currently known how long the lock will remain closed.

There is currently no waiting time, but this may change subject to traffic.
