Grande Lagos symbolically inaugurates worlds largest lock in Antwerp
The new world’s largest lock was opened for business at the Port of Antwerp on Friday with the push of a button by King of Belgium. The new Kieldrecht Lock, or Kieldrechtsluis, connects container terminals at the port’s Deurganck tidal dock with the Waastland Canal. It is the second lock in an area Antwerp known as Waasland Port, located on the left bank of the Scheldt. Until now the area was only accessible by the Kallo Lock, which has been in service since 1979, but has been outgrown in terms of capacity, size, and reliability. The new lock was symbolically inaugurated with the Grimaldi Lines vessel, Grande Lagos.
