They won't. All those lock pics you see are taken by two ship's photographers who hitch a ride on one of the early morning canal boats and are then taken to the lock prior to the ship getting there - don't tell anyone! 

I won’t tell John’ PROMISE😊 I am happy to see Zaandam finally going through! Thank God

Looks like she’s on the move

First time I’ve seen a ship going through the new locks. Does the ship use side thrusters to stay in the middle?

[rajkr74]

Good to see the Zaandam get thru the new Cocoli locks.  Now which locks will the Rotterdam go thru?

[Essiesmom]

If yo notice the cluster of ships around Miraflores, I think she will follow Zaandam in Cocoli.  EM

This time helping us understand the what and how of this mission of mercy for the pax and crew of our Zaandam and her sister escort Rotterdam. Thank you for your invaluable help and information.

Zaandam has moved into the third lock so you can't see her, but should  be able to see Rotterdam later if she follows the pattern

Wow, I am guessing that there was a negotiation!   $$$$$  Good for them!!   

 

There is no one in front of the Rotterdam that is underway!

[Stakeout]

there is a US Coast Guard Ship right in front of the Zaandam under the Centennial Bridge

 

[Copper10-8]

Rotterdam has gotten her own tug already - Cerro Santiago - my money is on Cocoli like ZADM

 

[PugetSound]

I'm following along. Truly an exciting event. And so inspirational.

[Copper10-8]

Make that Cerro Punta for Rotterdam, too many "Cerro's" on the canal 

 

[Max2003]

Yep the R is lined up to go thru the Cocoli.

 

[Copper10-8]

And Zaandam is out
