    Tips

    The construction of the power plant opened up the Rhine above Basel for large-scale shipping and enabled the construction of the port facilities in Muttenz and Birsfelden. Initially, one lock was sufficient to regulate shipping traffic. In 1979, as demand increased, the second lock basin was inaugurated. 11,000 locks now take place each year, each lasting around 20 minutes.
