• The lock master will note the Name, Length Over All (LOA), Width and Depth of the yacht and will give the time of the lock. A berth will be given in the lock.
• Pay attention to the signalling! Do not sail in until the light is green and the lock master gave you access to the lock.
• Sail as far forward as possible, moor at the vertical ropes, and turn off the engine.
• Keep the mooring ropes taut until the lock is over. No 'free passage' to the Mercator Marina is possible.
