Skippers: '50% barge berths gone with new Terneuzen lock'

According to Van IJk, due to the construction of the new sea lock, ships belonging to the police, Rijkswaterstaat, bunker barges and tugs will have to look for a new berth. Van IJk: “I understand they will be given a new berth in Terneuzen in side canal A and the Beneluxkade. As inland navigation, we have of course lost those berths for good. But where should we go then? There is no more room in Terneuzen and there are hardly any possibilities in Sas van Gent either. Should we as Dutch inland shippers then move to the port of Ghent?”
