Nampo Dam, Tidal barrage in Nampo, North Korea
The Nampo Dam incorporates three lock chambers and thirty-six sluices across its eight-kilometer span, accommodating ships up to 50,000 tons.
The North Korean Army constructed this major infrastructure project between 1981 and 1986, investing approximately four billion dollars in its completion.
The Korean Central News Agency regularly features the Nampo Dam in media broadcasts as an example of North Korean engineering capabilities.
Located at the junction of the Taedong River and Yellow Sea, the dam prevents salt water intrusion while supporting agriculture through improved irrigation systems.
Visitors can explore the information center on P'i Do Island, which presents documentation about the construction process and operation of the locks.
