A question to mariners...

Hello everyone.

I saw this ship (Mirjam) on the webcam at the Kiel lock. As you can see in the video, the left lock gate is open while the right one is closed. It is clearly visible that the vessel's propeller is not in an idle position at all. You can see a lot of eddies caused by the propeller. Throughout the entire lockage (approximately 20 to 25 minutes), the eddies maintained this intensity. Why ? I am very curious to read your comments..." Thank you.
