Successful lock gate maintenance

06.11.2024
CUXHAVEN. After five months of intensive work, NPorts completed the maintenance work carried out on the central gate of the sea lock in Cuxhaven in October. Every six years, the port operator has to drain and thoroughly overhaul each of the three lock gates there. The costs involved are roughly 700,000 euros for each gate. These investments ensure that the structure can continue to fulfil its function reliably in the future. “The flooding of the gate is always an emotional moment,” explained Knut Kokkelink, head of the NPorts Cuxhaven site, as masses of water flowed out again for the first time.
