Five-step Ship Lock
Maybe here you will be curious about the lock, why there is a lock in Yangtze River and which is always connected with the Three Gorges Dam. A lock is a device for raising and lowering boats between stretches of water of different levels on river and canal waterways. It is used for making a river more easily navigable, or to allow a canal to take a reasonably direct line across county that is not level. It is required when a stretch of river is made navigable by bypassing an obstruction such as rapid, dam, or mill weir because of the change in river level across the obstacle. Therefore, here are the Three Gorges Ship Locks and also called Five-step Ship Lock.
The construction of Three Gorges Ship Locks is intended to increase river shipping from ten million to 100 million tons annually, with transportation costs cut by 30% to 37%.
Since the installation of the ship locks, shipping through the Three Gorges become much safer, which changed the fact that the gorges were notoriously dangerous to navigate. Each of the two ship locks is made up of five stages, taking around four hours in total to transit, and has a vessel capacity of 10,000 tons.
The locks are 280 meters long, 35 meters wide, and 5 meters deep, which are 30 meters longer than those on the St Lawrence Seaway but half as deep.
Before the dam was constructed, the maximum freight capacity of the river at the Three Gorges was only 18 million tons every year, but a total of 198 million tons of freight per year pass through the Three Gorges Dam ship locks presently. The freight capacity of the river increased six times and the cost of shipping was reduced by 25%, compared with the previous years.
The Three Gorges Dam’s Five-step Ship Lock is truly a modern marvel. It is just one of the many world records held by the Three Gorges Dam.
