Hey, I'm new, is there a speed limit for tight locks and docks?

Not that you get scored on. Officially I am not sure. I expect so. For example in marinas there is a 5kts speed limit. I expect that to be walking pace (approx 2kts in a narrow lock)
If a ship like Alina squeezes through a narrow lock at Koblenz imagine where the water goes. Only under the ship and not around. I don't think they can really go fast if they tried.

That's fair enough, I only wondered because on Koblenz to Treir, I was wondering how fast you should go while entering a lock so you wont get any damage. (IRL it would be terrible method)

I get through there at a snails pace. 1 or 2 knots. The simulator will not penalize a collision at very low impact speeds.
