REGULATIONS
The Kiel-Canal (in German: Nord-Ostsee-Kanal) is the world’s busiest artificial waterway – almost 30.000 vessels transitted the Kiel-Canal in 2018.
It is the safest, shortest and the most convenient shipping route between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. An average of 280 nautical miles will be saved by using the Kiel-Canal instead of the way around Skaw.
REGULATIONS
Information such as particulars of the Kiel-Canal, dimensions allowed for vessels transitting as well as reporting obligations you will find in the ‘General information about Kiel-Canal transits’.
