The final lockage before the shutdown will take place on Monday, 26 May, until 07:00, with the possibility of off-schedule passages prior to that time. Regular operation will resume with the first scheduled lockage on Thursday, 29 May at 07:30, from the Vistula Lagoon to the Gulf of Gdańsk.

Port infrastructure, including berthing quays, will remain accessible throughout the maintenance period.

Operational guidelines for vessels

Outside of the maintenance window, eight lockages are conducted daily according to the following schedule:

Recreational vessels, including yachts, must arrive at the Nowy Świat Port at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled lockage time.

Upon approach to the port heads—either from the Gulf of Gdańsk or the Vistula Lagoon—vessels must contact the Duty Officer again on VHF 68 or by phone to receive final instructions.
