Built around a strategic harbour on the Westerschelde, Terneuzen grew into Zeeland’s principal port and the Dutch outlet of the Ghent–Terneuzen Canal. The broad tidal estuary is a major shipping route, carrying seagoing traffic between Antwerp, Ghent and the North Sea. Canal locks at Terneuzen connect the city directly with Ghent, underlining its role in the cross-border North Sea Port area. Along the Scheldeboulevard, the waterfront keeps that working relationship with the river in focus; ferries also link Terneuzen with Vlissingen across the estuary. Dutch-Flemish borderland influences are part of everyday life in Zeelandic Flanders. Browse additional webcams from Zeelandic Flanders to extend your view of the Westerschelde.
