Prins Bernhardsluis Tiel, Navigation lock in Tiel, Netherlands.

The Prins Bernhardsluis consists of two parallel lock chambers connecting the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal with the Waal River in the eastern section of Tiel.

The western chamber of Prins Bernhardsluis was constructed in 1952 by Werkspoor Utrecht, while the eastern chamber was added in 1974 to increase capacity.

The lock represents Dutch water management expertise, enabling continuous navigation through the Netherlands' extensive inland waterway network connecting major economic regions.

The eastern lock chamber measures 260 meters in length and 24 meters in width, accommodating vessels with a maximum depth of 4 meters.

The facility processes over 17,000 vessels annually, utilizing two different gate systems: traditional point gates in the west chamber and lifting gates in the east.
