The new lock now enables "mega ships" to navigate the Ghent-Terneuzen canal.

The MV Bregaglia, the largest ship ever to sail the Ghent-Terneuzen canal, has successfully completed its journey following a significant civil engineering project at North Sea Port. This project, aimed at upgrading the canal to accommodate larger vessels, was located in the south of the Netherlands, approximately 40 miles west of the Port of Antwerp in Belgium. The completion of the project came after a delay of about 18 months, reflecting the complexities involved in such a large-scale undertaking. The new lock infrastructure allows "mega ships" like the MV Bregaglia to navigate the canal, significantly enhancing the region's shipping capabilities and boosting its role in international trade. This milestone not only showcases advancements in maritime engineering but also emphasizes the port's commitment to improving access and efficiency for larger vessels. As a result, the Ghent-Terneuzen canal is now better positioned to support increased cargo traffic and attract more shipping activities, contributing to the economic growth of the surrounding areas.
