Rare kazu Posted August 15, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Wow - one of the locks of the Kiel Canal has broken down - so the ships scheduled to go through have to wait. Never heard of this happening before - have you? Here's the link - http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=4944 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desdichado62 Posted August 15, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 15, 2012 This morning the waiting time was about 6 hours. Even the Royal Danish yacht Dannebrogen had to wait for its turn to enter the canal. http://www.silobreaker.com/kiel-canal-breakdown-causes-shipping-delays-5_2265907221105737762 http://www.kn-online.de/Lokales/Kiel/Schleusenausfall-Chaos-im-Kanal http://www.kn-online.de/Lokales/Kiel/Auch-die-Koenigsjacht-muss-warten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman The Cat Posted August 15, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Thanks for the links and info. Any idea how often this happens? Fortunately, it looks like it is getting fixed rather quickly. (At least to us. But it probably doesn't feel that way to those waiting to transit!) We are scheduled to pass through the Canal in early September.

I have never heard of this before (doesn't mean it doesn't happen) ergo my thread. Hoping someone who 'knows' comes on to give us the scoop. We are going through next year :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
