Zeehavenkanaal

Vessels proceeding through the harbour entrance arrive directly in the Zeehavenkanaal. Going westwards, the Zeehavenkanaal gradually narrows.

Handelshaven is accessed via this 6km long Zeehavenkanaal. The north side of this canal consists of a breakwater, where 14 wind turbines of Eneco generate green energy. To its south there are various loading and unloading facilities for the purpose of transhipping chemical products or raw materials for the chemical industry.

Established industries like JPB Logistics and Nobian (AkzoNobel) Base Chemicals have private mooring facilities in the Zeehavenkanaal area. These jetties and berths are located along the Zeehavenkanaal in such a way that the channel width of 100 metres, except near the Nobian jetty, is not affected.
