Mittelland Canal: how the place works

A narrow profile with stone banks, and meetings with fully laden freighters that noticeably lower the water level in a canal of this width. The suction pulls a small boat towards the bank before the helmsman even notices the movement.

Mittelland Canal: what breaks there

The typical damage is contact with the stone bank, to hull, rudder and propeller, and it happens while meeting, not on a clear run. Add damage at moorings when boats are pressed against the sheet piling by the wash.

Mittelland Canal: what this means for your policy

Check whether the hull cover includes damage to the underwater hull and the drive, and whether it carries grounding without restriction. On a canal with stone banks that is not a side issue.
