On Monday evening, November 17, 2025, the Prins Willem‑Alexander sluice was temporarily stopped. To restore safe operation, immediate actions were taken. The main cause of the stoppage was that camera footage at the central control station was not clear enough. Consequently, a nautical observer has been deployed on site. The observer watches the operation in person and supports operators with critical tasks. The observer stays in contact with the operator via radio and is positioned directly on or along the lock area, providing a clear view of the situation. This arrangement will remain in place until the camera footage is definitively improved.
