2.7.2 ETA and RTA messages
The purpose of an ETA message is to apply for a time slot at a lock, bridge or
terminal. (Hereafter "lock" refers to lock, bridge or terminal.) The message
contains your ship's ETA at the lock, air draught, the number of assisting
tugboats required and the particulars of the lock (country code, location code,
etc.).
Upon receipt of your ETA message, the lock authority responds with an RTA
(Requested Time of Arrival) message, usually within 15 minutes of receipt of
the ETA message. The RTA message contains lock operational status,
requested time of arrival and the particulars of the lock (country code, location
code, etc.).
