    The Herne-Ost lock belongs - from the Rhine - to the last of the five canal stages of the Rhine-Herne Canal in Herne. The new lock chambers are each 190 meters long and 12 meters wide. The difference between upper and lower water is 12.8 meters. Locking takes about 14 minutes, not counting the entry and exit times of the ships.
