GDWS Kiel Canal (NOK) traffic statistics
GDWS Kiel Canal (NOK) traffic statistics
Germany's Generaldirektion Wasserstraßen und Schifffahrt (GDWS) publishes Nord-Ostsee-Kanal (Kiel Canal) traffic statistics — monthly and annual vessel counts, gross tonnage (BRZ) and traffic-group breakdowns for Gesamtverkehr, Durchgangsverkehr and Teilstreckenverkehr — on its public NOK Statistik pages.
Coverage
Kiel Canal (Nord-Ostsee-Kanal) only. Monthly Schiffsanzahl and BRZ tables on the checked page covered 2016 through early 2026 months; Verkehrsgruppen 1–6 are listed. Exact publish lag after month-end is Not stated.
Verdict
This is the official German federal traffic series for the Kiel Canal, the busiest artificial seaway linking the Baltic and North Sea — a core on-the-water volume signal for Baltic feeder and short-sea routing. GDWS says it publishes the figures so interested parties can use them without bureaucracy ("stellen wir die statistischen Angaben für interessierte Kreise unbürokratisch zur Verfügung"). No separate open-data licence was found on the checked page. Signal Lab links to the official NOK Statistik page only.
