The Berendrechtsluis is a lock in Berendrecht in the far north of the port of Antwerp. Together with the Zandvliet lock, it forms a lock complex between the Western Scheldt and the Kanaaldok B2. The locks in the port of Antwerp protect the closed infrastructure against the tidal effects of the river. The water level is constant behind the locks.

The Berendrecht lock has a length of 500 m, a width of 68 m and a depth of 13.58 m, making it the largest lock in the world until 2016 and the opening of the Kieldrecht lock in terms of volume, even larger than the locks located on the Panama Canal. Before the completion of the Berendrecht lock in 1989, its sister lock, the Zandvliet lock, was the largest in the world.

Impressive location where you can watch the locking of large seagoing vessels.
