Ghent–Terneuzen Canal, Commercial waterway between Ghent and Terneuzen, Belgium-Netherlands.
The Ghent-Terneuzen Canal extends 32 kilometers through Belgium and the Netherlands, maintaining a width of 200 meters and a depth of 13.5 meters.
The canal construction started in 1824 and finished in 1827, facing operational restrictions until 1841 following Belgium's independence from the Netherlands.
The Cluysen-Ter Donck Regatta, held from 1888 to 1954, established the canal as a significant location for competitive rowing events.
The waterway accommodates vessels up to 265 meters in length and 34 meters in width, supporting maritime traffic between inland Belgium and the North Sea.
The canal system includes specialized locks at Terneuzen that manage water levels between the Western Schelde estuary and the main waterway.
