Sluis Maasbracht, Navigation lock in Maasbracht, Netherlands
The Maasbracht lock complex contains three chambers measuring 142 meters in length and 16 meters in width, enabling water level adjustments of 12 meters.
The lock system was constructed as part of the Juliana Canal infrastructure to provide essential navigation connections between the Maas River and surrounding waterways.
The lock complex serves as a central point for maritime activities, where visitors gather to observe vessels navigating through the substantial water level differences.
The lock facilities operate continuously throughout the year, accommodating vessels up to 220 meters in length when positioned sequentially in the Oostkolk chamber.
The Maasbracht lock system features the Netherlands' largest vertical drop, with its specialized chambers managing a 12-meter water level difference between sections.
