LALABE Begins Sea Trials After Precise Lock Navigation
MY LALABE departed her shipyard last week for North Sea trials, but first faced the challenge of navigating through the narrow Bergsche Maas canal lock. With the lock measuring just nine meters wide and LALABE's beam reaching 8.2 meters including rubbing strakes, precision was critical. The partially-opening lock bridge added further complexity, requiring careful planning for superstructure clearance.
