context_page_description: The Kieldrecht Lock, referred to as the Deurgank Dock Lock during construction, is the world's largest lock, taking over this title from the Berendrecht Lock. The Kieldrecht Lock is the newest of two locks that give access to the left-bank docks of the Port of Antwerp in Belgium, between the Scheldt river and the Waasland Canal. The creation of the Kieldrecht lock has relieved the amount of traffic for the Waasland Canal that the Kallo Lock was experiencing. The lock, situated in the municipality of Beveren, was opened on 10 June 2016 in the presence of King Philippe of Belgium.
