G'day gain Huub, great video. Love the drone shots. What is the holdup at the locks? Too many ships or are the locks now too small to handle the volume of shipping. It loks like one of the Grave locks is not working. Two locks working together would soon shorten the queue? It must also upset your timetables. Ken

Hi Ken, A lock to the other side and back takes about an hour. That's what I reckon. It is indeed true that the ships are getting bigger and the locks do not grow with them. In this case, two other locks in Weurt were out of order, one due to repairs and the other due to the low water, which means that we have to sail through this lock. If it also breaks down, we're out. It is also true that you see two locks. That one is old and out of use. It is the intention that it will be rebuilt and enlarged, but we do not know when. If that happens, it will indeed shorten the waiting time. Locks are necessary to keep the river navigable, so we take the delay for granted. Greetings, Huub.
