Tips

The Vlissingen Keersluis (known to Rijkswaterstaat as Vlissingen, Binnenschutsluis) is a flood lock in the Canal through Walcheren in the Dutch municipality of Vlissingen. The lock is equipped with one set of pointed doors and is (almost always) open and serves as a flood lock. The passage width is 19.71 m at the top, decreasing to 19.36 m at the threshold. The lock sill is at −7.30 m in the middle, rising to channel level −5.30 m on the sides. When the lock needs to be operated, this is done on site.
The purpose of this flood lock is to separate the water level of the inland ports from the rest of the Canal through Walcheren. In the past, this was, for example, to launch (large) ships that were built at the De Schelde shipyard and bring them to open water. Even now, the possibility is (occasionally) used to adjust the water level.
