The Albert Canal is a canal in Belgium that connects Liège with Antwerp via cities such as Genk, Hasselt, Geel and Herentals, and connects the Meuse with the Scheldt. The canal is 129 km long, running from Monsin to the Port of Antwerp near Merksem. There are six locks in the canal to overcome the height difference of 56 meters.
The canal takes its name from King Albert I and runs through three provinces, namely Liège, Limburg and Antwerp.
