There is Panamax, Suezmax and Seawaymax. What is the Kielmax? -- Geo Swan 06:21, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
I can't find one but a map surely would be essential to this article 4.142.90.78 ( talk) 03:11, 6 May 2008 (UTC)eric
I uploaded this to put into the article, but then decided that there wasn't enough text to balance yet another picture. If you disagree or the situation changes, feel free to add it.
dewiki and enwiki disagree about the opening date. Anybody have a reliable source? Kusma (討論) 18:16, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
The article claims the Kiel Canal "is the world's busiest man-made waterway" - any reference for this? 86.160.190.194 ( talk) 20:29, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Given that the canal is neither biggest in tonnage moved nor number of vessels I'm going to change the line. AngryZinogre ( talk) 06:22, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
The presence of locks (see picture) suggests that the canal is not a sea-level canal. Can anyone elaborate on this? It seems that a new article section on the canal's technical aspects would be a good addition. Piledhigheranddeeper ( talk) 17:12, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
I think it is because of the earth rotation. In the case of Panama Canal, Pacific Ocean is 20 Centimeter higher than Atlantic Ocean.
Here is some information about this:

The map we have now is pretty crude. I've requested a better one - preferably something that shows the actual route, and a few cities it visits on the way. -- JaGa talk 20:47, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
There should probably be a note on the main bridges over the canal, which often appear in German naval photographs. Levensau, Grünenthal, Rendsberg and Holtenau in particular. Drutt ( talk) 23:31, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
Citatians Someone has requested citatians for many paragraphs such as the normal practice of separate regulation for pleasure craft which for instance this Canal operator website clearly gives, and we list that website. Is the use of such citatians good practice or should we simply cross refer to Keil Canal website — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.31.202.145 ( talk) 10:56, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
The article says it saves 250 miles of going around Jutland. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Jutland Peninsula is 40,000 sq. km, which, in scientific terms, is DAMN BIG. There is no way going around such a huge land mass is 250 miles. I see this on the canal's website as well. Could it be that they made a mistake and the author of this masterpiece just mindlessly copied it. Or was it the other way round? Le Grand Bleu ( talk) 00:25, 25 July 2015 (UTC) As a sailor i am investigating using the canal. It saves about 107 miles going from North Sea to say Copenhagen, but going from one end to the other from North Sea to Kiel save 368miles, so 250 miles is average saving — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.105.31 ( talk) 19:09, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
It would be useful if the canals original depth and width were given plus its current vital statistics, as thats why I came to page to start with — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.105.31 ( talk) 19:23, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
The linked reference [http://www.kiel-canal.de/kiel-canal/history/index.htm] for the section mentions "up to 8900 workers", but the wiki text says "over 9000 workers", which sounds very close to a popular Internet meme. Are there any other sources actually confirming the number being over nine thousand, or was that a hidden joke edit that went unnoticed? [1]
What were the dimensions of the first version of the canal. And there needs to be an more detailed explanation of why it was rebuilt.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 00:18, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
It says that the max boat length is 235m and max beam is 32.5m.
However on the Bismark page, it talks about that ship going through the canal and having a length of 241m at the waterline and 251m overall and a beam of 36m.
So have the specs changed since WW2, or was the Bismark sent through it even though it was bigger than recommended?
