1.5 million euros for new lock technology

01.10.2022
BREMERHAVEN. A building was completed in the small fishing harbour lock in August, which will house the technical equipment for running the lock. The cost amounted to 1.5 million euros. The new build will store all the sensitive drive components and controls above the current valid level, in order to ensure operational safety even at higher water levels. Further construction works are already planned for 2023, notably the modernisation of the electromechanical drives on the lock head.
