The Canal through South Beveland connects the Westerschelde with the Oosterschelde. The canal was dug in 1850 and commissioned in 1886. The canal is more than 9 km long.

In the 20th century, the canal was one of the busiest canals in Europe. With the arrival of the Scheldt-Rhine Canal, the importance of the Canal through Zuid-Beveland for shipping has decreased. At the end of the 20th century, the canal was drastically widened, new railway and road bridges were built, the locks at Wemeldinge were no longer used for shipping traffic, and a new lock complex with two lock chambers was built in Hansweert. These current east and west locks in Hansweert are 280 m long and 24 m wide. The locks have roller doors. More than 44,000 vessels pass through here every year, nearly 10,000 of which are recreational craft.
