Tips

May 26, 2026

The coal harbour is a side channel of the Albert Canal, built for the transport of coal. This harbour was built at the same time as the Albert Canal, along with three other coal harbours. Before the coal harbours existed, coal was transported by rail to the Walloon steel industry. For this purpose, twelve reserve steam locomotives were stationed in Beringen. The coal harbours became fully operational in 1937. Although there is no longer any mining, these coal harbours are still in use, including for loading imported coal for power plants.
