Delfzijl, Seaport city in Groningen, Netherlands
The city extends along the Ems River estuary near the German border, featuring industrial facilities and a commercial harbor with extensive shipping operations.
Established as a fortified settlement in the 16th century, Delfzijl developed around a strategic sluice connecting the Delf and Ems rivers.
The DelfSail maritime festival occurs every five years, bringing numerous tall ships and maritime demonstrations to the harbor area.
Two railway stations connect the city to Groningen, while the port handles significant cargo traffic as the fifth largest seaport in the Netherlands.
The city maintains advanced water management systems with dikes and gates to control water levels, protecting residential areas from North Sea tides.
