Sluis Gaarkeuken, Canal lock in Zuidhorn, Netherlands
The Gaarkeuken lock measures 190 meters in length and 16 meters in width, connecting the Friese boezem with the Van Starkenborgh canal system.
The lock functions as a critical component of the Lemmer-Delfzijl water route, which has supported regional maritime transportation since its construction.
The lock represents Dutch water management expertise, demonstrating the technical solutions developed to maintain water levels in different canal sections.
The facility operates from Tuesday to Friday between 00:00 and 23:59, while Monday and holiday operations run from 06:00 to 23:59.
Vessels communicate through marine channel 20 while approaching the lock, which maintains distinct water levels of NAP -0.52m and NAP -0.93m on opposite sides.
