The Hansweert Locks are a pair of identical locks, located next to each other and equipped with rolling gates. Located in the town of Hansweert in the Dutch province of Zeeland, these locks play an important role in enabling navigation between the Westerschelde and the Canal through Zuid-Beveland for vessels up to CEMT class VIb (about 200 meters long x 23 meters wide). The height difference the lock has to bridge is as much as 7.30 meters. The Hansweert Locks are a valuable connection for shipping in the region.
