Notes
- Lock according to OpenStreetMap.

- Zwischen 20:30 und 04:30 nur auf Anfrage mit 30 min Vorlauf direkt beim Schleusenwärter; Schleusenwärter rund um die Uhr besetzt.
- Immer mindestens 30 min vor der gewünschten Schleusung per Telefon oder UKW anmelden, mit Tiefgang und Masthöhe.
- Richtung Rance zu Meer mindestens 20 min vor der vollen Stunde da sein, Richtung Meer zu Rance mindestens 5 min vorher; Fahrgastschiffe haben Vorrang.
- Die Straßenbrücke wird für Boote mit Mast zur vollen Stunde gehoben (Verkehr 2 bis 15 min unterbrochen). EDF veröffentlicht die Schleusungsprognose für drei Wochen, donnerstags aktualisiert.
