“Gates to the world” in dry dock

02.04.2025

BREMERHAVEN. This year started with an unusual sight at the 220-metre-long Dock I of the Lloyd shipyard. It was not a docked ship but rather two huge lock gates from the port of Bremen which, together, weighed nearly 3,600 tonnes. The spare gates of the Kaiserschleuse and Nordschleuse were subjected to a thorough inspection, especially the section that is below the water’s surface. The lifting cylinders of the Kaiserschleuse gates were also examined in detail and the sealing and sliding rails of both gates were replaced.
