Kieldrecht Lock, Navigation lock in Beveren, Belgium
The Kieldrecht Lock connects the Scheldt River to the Waasland Canal through a 500-meter-long and 68-meter-wide waterway system in the Port of Antwerp.
The construction of Kieldrecht Lock began in October 2011 and reached completion in April 2015, requiring one week to fill with one million cubic meters of water.
King Philippe of Belgium participated in the official inauguration ceremony of the Kieldrecht Lock on June 10, 2016, marking its significance for maritime commerce.
The lock operates with four sliding gates and maintains an operational depth of 17.8 meters, enabling large container vessels to navigate between different water levels.
The construction required 22,000 tonnes of steel, equivalent to three times the amount used in building the Eiffel Tower, making it the largest lock in the world.
