Wagenborg has delivered the first lock gate to Brunsbüttel after towing the structure from Eemshaven with its tugboats Waterland and Wulf 4.

The gate was fabricated in Emden and first transferred to Eemshaven. There, teams completed a RoRo operation and conducted water-based tests to confirm that the unit met technical and safety requirements before the final tow to Brunsbüttel.

Two additional lock gates will follow in the spring. Each will move from the fabrication hall in Emden to Eemshaven, be launched for testing, and then be transported to Brunsbüttel via the same route.

The delivery highlights Wagenborg’s focus on the infrastructure market and its execution of complex maritime logistics across multiple project stages.
