What is the commercial cost to use the Welland canal?
The total cost of transiting the Wellan Canal can cost anywhere from $19,000 to $38,000+ in Canadian dollars per trip. According to Thorold.com, the cost depends on the gross registered tonnage of the ship, whether wholly laden, partially so, or in ballast, the type of cargo in metric tonnes, the number of persons aboard, plus dockage charges. Pleasure craft pay $30.00 per lock to transit the Welland Canal.

If a ship in a canal lock springs a leak and sinks will the water level at the side of the canal lock rise fall or remain unchanged?
As the ship sinks, the water begins filling it up, so the water level would go down. The way the water level could go up is if you increase the displacement of the ship; however, by springing a leak, you effectively decrease it.

Referring to the Panama Canal - What is a lock?
It is a system of gates to allow ships to move up or down from 1 level to another. The vessel moves into the lock & water is allowed to either leave or enter the lock to change the level, when the water equalizes to the new level, either up or down, then the next gate can be opned to allow the vessel to move on. Because the levels in the Red Sea & the Meditteranean are the same there was no need for a lock system in the Suez canal.

How ships are raised and lowered in canal?
To raise or lower ships passing through the Panama Canal (a similar process is applied to any kind of ships passing through any canal) we use "locks". You've seen diagrams of an "air lock" in a spacecraft; a chamber that the astronauts can enter, and air is added or removed, and then go through the other door. The original "locks" do the same thing, only with water. A vessel enters the lock through the gate at one end. The gate is closed, and water is pumped into the lock. As the water level is raised, the ship is lifted. When the water in the lock matches the water level in the next leg of the canal, the other gate is opened, and the vessel exits the lock.
