Berendrecht Lock, Maritime lock in Port of Antwerp, Belgium
The Berendrecht Lock extends 500 meters in length, 68 meters in width, and maintains an operational depth of 13.5 meters for vessel transit.
Opening in 1989, this lock succeeded the Zandvliet Lock to accommodate wider Post-Panamax ships, marking a new era in maritime transportation.
The lock represents Belgian engineering excellence and stands as a symbol of Antwerp's maritime heritage and international trade connections.
Four sliding gates control water levels while two bascule bridges, the Oudendijk and Berendrecht, enable continuous road traffic movement around the facility.
This structure held the title of world's largest lock upon completion in 1989 and remains the second largest by volume in global maritime infrastructure.
