Project:
The Niederfinow Ship Lift

The 60-meter-high Niederfinow Ship Lift is considered a technical masterpiece. In this new project by the Waterways and Shipping Office Berlin, ships are driven into a lift to be transported from the Oder-Havel Canal to the Old Oder. The ship lift overcomes a height difference of 36 meters. The 133-meter-long and 55-meter-high lift can pass ships up to 115 meters long and 11 meters wide.
