The Scheldt–Rhine Canal in Belgium and the Netherlands connects Antwerp with the Volkerak, and thereby the Scheldt with the Rhine.The canal starts close to the Scheldt river, at the port of Antwerp, and generally runs north. After it passes the Dutch-Belgian border, it serves as the border between the Dutch provinces of North Brabant and Zeeland. Just north of Zuid-Beveland ships have to pass the Kreekrak sluices to enter the lower part of the canal. Just north of the sluices the canal enters the artificial Zoommeer and leaves this lake again as a canalised section of the former Eendracht strait, before terminating in the Volkerak estuary. Here, the Volkerak sluices provide access to the Rhine-Meuse Delta and the port of Rotterdam.
