    In 1947, it was decided to upgrade inland shipping in Belgium and to make a connection between Scheldt and Meuse possible for ships of 1,350 tons. A major problem remained the bridging of the Brabant plateau (see Roncquières inclined plane). In 1976 it was decided to work via a diversion channel and 1 large ship lift and in 1982 the works were started. Finally, the ship's lift that lifts ships of 1,350 tons 73 meters higher (in 2 lifts that function independently of each other) was put into operation in 2002. A clever piece of technology.

      Absolutely gigantic, definitely even bigger than the new boat lift in Niederfinow.
