About This Seaport
Around 45,000 lock passages a year pass through Hansweert, where the Canal through Zuid-Beveland meets the Western Scheldt in the Dutch province of Zeeland. Its twin rolling-gate locks bridge a level difference of some 7.3 metres and admit vessels up to CEMT class VIb, roughly 200 metres long — traffic that is overwhelmingly inland barges rather than sea-going ships. This makes Hansweert essentially an inland-waterway junction, not a deep-sea container port; on-site it offers one terminal with three berths plus a shipyard and floating docks. The harbour also serves as a customs station for vessels bound from Belgian ports to Dutch ports, which gives it a clear role in import-export clearance. Container liner and ocean cargo, however, route through the nearby North Sea Port complex (Vlissingen and Terneuzen) or through Antwerp. For forwarders, Hansweert matters as a lock, repair and customs point on the inland network rather than as a cargo gateway in its own right.
