Kreekrak locks, Lock system in Reimerswaal, Netherlands.
The Kreekrak locks contain multiple chambers that manage water levels and enable vessel navigation between the Scheldt-Rhine connection in the Netherlands.
Constructed after the Dutch Belgian treaty of 1963, these locks were designed to prevent salt water from entering the fresh water sections of the waterways.
The locks exemplify Dutch water management excellence, representing generations of knowledge in maritime engineering and waterway control techniques.
Ships passing through the Kreekrak locks follow specific procedures, with dedicated waiting areas and signal systems coordinating vessel movements.
The lock system derives its name from a former tidal gulley that existed in the area before the construction of the current infrastructure.
