    The Meiderich lock is the entrance lock to the Rhine-Herne Canal (RHK) in Duisburg and the first of the five locks in the RHK. For inland waterway vessels, this creates a connection between the Duisburg port to the east and the Weser and the Elbe, connecting the German North Sea ports to the Ruhr area and the Rhine rail network. Located in the Meiderich district, it maintains the water level in the canal regardless of the outflow in the Rhine. For large motor freight vessels and push convoys with two barges (category Vb ship types), a single lock chamber 190 meters long is available at the drop stage. (Source: Wikipedia)
