Zeehavenkanaal

Vessels that enter the harbour entrance, enter Zeehavenkanaal immediately. The Handelshaven can be accessed via this 6-kilometre-long canal, which narrows gradually.

The north side of this canal consists of a protective dyke, where 14 wind turbines of Eneco generate green energy. To its south there are various loading and unloading facilities for the purpose of transshipping chemical products or raw materials for the chemical industry.
