description

When it opened in 1899, the Dortmund-Ems Canal was designed for a standard ship with a length of 67 meters, a width of 8.20 meters, a draft of between 1.75 and 2.00 meters and a carrying capacity of between 600 and 750 tons, the Dortmund -Ems Canal can be navigated in full length. These ships corresponded to the Dortmund-Ems Canal dimension. Initially, barges of this size were used almost exclusively, later motor freight ships were increasingly used. After the expansion between 1952 and 1959, a Dortmund-Ems Canal ship can carry a maximum of 1000 tons with the same length and width and has a maximum draft of 2.50 meters. The ships that came into service after the expansion in the 1950s are Gustav Koenigs ships .
