ABSTRACT: The issue of safety and free navigation near the Vistula Lagoon for many years was a dispute between Poland and Russia. The most debatable and conflicting topic, especially in Poland, was building a new connection between the Gulf of Gdansk and the Vistula Lagoon. This paper describes the functional processes and mechanisms of the new lock installed at the harbour Nowy Świat and the results of quantitative analysis of traffic changes resulting from that addition (from the beginning of their operations through January 2023). The next part of the work focuses on safety navigation analysis for typical vessels which operate on this newly built waterway. Underkeel clearance analysis and the channel's minimum safety width were carried out, assuming the most common types of ship. The research results provide the foundation for further potential analysis of the Nowy Świat Canal transport possibilities.
