The Berlin-Spandau Shipping Canal (BSK; formerly Hohenzollern Canal; Spandauer Canal; Spandauer Schiffahrtskanal) connects the rivers Spree and Havel over a length of twelve kilometers. The canal is a federal waterway and lies entirely within Berlin's urban area. From the Spree to the Plötzensee lock it is classified as waterway class III, from there to the Havel it is classified as class IV. Legally, the federal waterways Westhafen-Verbindungskanal and Westhafenkanal with Charlottenburg Verbindungskanal also belong to the BSK.[1][2] The Spree-Havel Waterways and Shipping Office is responsible for its administration.
