Berendrecht
Berendrecht is a village in Antwerp province in Belgium. Its name means "dike of the bear", according to the area's dialect, or "dike of a man called Bear", or "passage by the marsh". But drecht or tricht means "ferry" or "crossing", and ber or bere in Indo-European means "dam", "defence against water": the resulting meaning is "river crossing at a dam". The Berendrecht Lock is the worlds largest lock, giving entrance to the Port of Antwerp.
Port of Antwerp
The port of Antwerp, in Belgium, is a port in the heart of Europe accessible to capesize ships. Antwerp stands at the upper end of the tidal estuary of the Scheldt. The estuary is navigable by ships of more than 100,000 Gross Tons as far as 80 km inland. The inland location means that the port of Antwerp enjoys a more central location in Europe than the majority of North Sea ports. Antwerp's docks are connected to the hinterland by rail, waterway and road.
Oorderen
Oorderen was a small Belgian village near the city of Antwerp until 1965. It was demolished because of the extension of the Port of Antwerp. The village was first mentioned in 1116 and merged into the city of Antwerp in 1927. In its place came Plant 2 of General Motors, which is today Opel Antwerp. Another part of the village was taken by the railroad yard Antwerp-North and railway station Antwerp-Harbour.
Wilmarsdonk
Wilmarsdonk was a village in Belgium, north of Antwerp, which has disappeared under the Port of Antwerp expansion. The village was first mentioned in 1155 and merged into the city of Antwerp in 1927. The village was sacrificed to the expansion of the harbor and destroyed in 1965. Only the church tower was preserved.
Liefkenshoektunnel
The Liefkenshoektunnel is a toll tunnel to the north of Antwerp under the River Schelde. The tunnel is a continuation of Highway R2, the ring motorway surrounding the city and harbour of Antwerp. In 2010 the tunnel was used by 6,373,894 vehicles. Positioned between the Beverentunnel and the Tijsmanstunnel, the Liefkenshoektunnel is the second of three sequential road tunnels running under the river and port installations. The tunnel takes its name from nearby Fort Liefkenshoek.
