Boudewijnsluis, Maritime lock in Port of Antwerp, Belgium
The Boudewijnsluis measures 360 meters in length and 45 meters in width, operating with a TAW depth of 10.33 meters for vessel passage.
King Baudouin inaugurated this navigation lock in 1955 to accommodate larger vessels entering the Port of Antwerp through the Scheldt River.
The construction of Boudewijnsluis marks a turning point in Belgian maritime infrastructure, reflecting the evolution of commercial shipping requirements.
Maritime traffic controllers manage vessel movements through the lock system using real-time monitoring and scheduling applications.
During the 1960s and 1970s, Boudewijnsluis handled the highest vessel traffic volume among all locks in the Port of Antwerp.
