If you want to know it even more precisely: At present, these locks can only pass ships up to the category "European ship" (85 m long, 9.5 m wide and 2.5 m discharge lane). From 2025 onwards, the larger "large motor cargo vessels" (110 m long, 11.40 m wide and 2.80 m draft) are to pass through a new, wider lock.

Anyone who has ever wondered why the canal runs here for two kilometers "two lanes", can inform here (with aerial view): wsa-rheine.wsv.de/wasserstrassenbereich/dek/schleusen/schleuse_bevergern /index.html. Only the newer "large lock", which can handle the lifting height of 8.1 m in one step, is still in operation.
