🚢 The Outer Harbor of Vlissingen is strategically located at the mouth of the Western Scheldt, making it an important gateway to the North Sea.
This port has a rich history and has served as a crucial trade route and maritime hub over the centuries.
Due to the depth of the shipping channel, the Outer Harbor is suitable for receiving large seagoing vessels, including container ships, bulk carriers and oil tankers.

🚢
The Inner Harbor of Vlissingen is located further inland and is sheltered from direct exposure to the open sea. It acts as a port for more local shipping activities and smaller-scale freight transport.
This port also plays a role in connecting the hinterland with the sea, creating an efficient logistics hub.
Various types of ships can be seen in the Inner Harbor, from fishing boats to pleasure boats.

🚢
Both ports are vital to the economy of Vlissingen and the wider region. They serve as hubs for imports and exports, and play a role in the trade of various goods, including raw materials and finished products.
Industrial activities along the port areas include shipbuilding, offshore activities and logistics services.

🚢
In addition to their economic function, the ports also contribute to tourism in Vlissingen. The lively port activities, the presence of historic ships and the opportunity to stroll along the waterfront make the ports attractive to locals and visitors alike.
The ports of Vlissingen are therefore not only the heart of maritime activities and trade, but also an important part of the city's identity and appeal.
