Lock gate successfully transported from Emden to Eemshaven

Following the successful RoRo loading operation of a massive lock gate in Emden earlier this month, Wagenborg has now completed the next milestone in this complex infrastructure project. Today, the lock gate was safely transported from Emden to Eemshaven aboard the Wagenborg Barge 10.

Tug expertise in action

The transport was executed with precision by the Wagenborg tugboats Waterstraat and Waterstroom, showcasing the strength of our towage capabilities. With years of experience in project logistics and port operations, our towage crews ensured a smooth and secure voyage across the river Ems.

Preparing for testing at Wagenborg terminal

Soon, the lock gate will be carefully discharged at the Wagenborg terminal. Here, it will undergo a series of tests to ensure full functionality before being integrated into its final location in the new Brunsbüttel lock facility. This phase is critical in guaranteeing the long-term reliability and accessability of the Kiel Canal.

Proof of project strength and synergy

This operation underlines Wagenborg’s ability to deliver complex maritime logistics solutions by combining towage, heavy transport, and terminal services. It also reflects our strategic focus on growing project volumes, strengthening our position in the infrastructure market.
