Elbe-Havel waterway: how the place works

A long stretch with locks, tight bends and the Rothensee boat lift. Waiting times are part of the plan, and anyone trying to shorten them ends up in the same chamber as a freighter that has more right there than room.

Elbe-Havel waterway: what breaks there

Damage arises in the lift and in the chambers from contact with walls, bollards and the neighbouring boat, and while waiting at unprepared places. The amounts are rarely high, but the number of cases is.

Elbe-Havel waterway: what this means for your policy

Here too: damage to the other boat is liability, damage to your own is hull, and when locking both are usually affected. Also check the excess, because with many small cases it decides how useful the policy is.
