Unlocking the Future at the North Sea Port Conference 🚢🔑
Last Friday, we had the privilege of attending the North Sea Port Conference in Terneuzen, where we celebrated the grand opening of the impressive Nieuwe Sluis lock. This enormous lock, measuring 427 meters long, 55 meters wide, and 16.4 meters deep, is set to transform maritime transport in the region, allowing much larger vessels to pass through and boosting trade. In this blog, we share our experience of the event and what this new lock means for the future of shipping.
