The ShuiKou shiplift, was built in Fujian province, on the Min River. It can lift vessels displacing 500 tons. Its caisson's dimensions are 124 metres (407 ft) × 12 metres (39 ft) × 2.5 metres (8.2 ft). The ShuiKou Dam's maximum height is 101 metres (331 ft). Beside the shiplift there is flight of three conventional locks, also capable of transitting vessels of 500 tons. When built it was the second largest shiplift in China, after the one being built on the Three Gorges Dam. Construction of the shiplift began in 1991. A catastropic flood on the river, in 1992, delayed completion.
