FOREWORD HARBOUR MASTER 1.1 GENERAL Welcome to the port of Ghent, situated at the far end of the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal (at 32 km from the Terneuzen locks), 17 km of which are on Belgian territory and 15 km on Dutch territory. The Ghent-Terneuzen Canal gives access to the river Scheldt via Flushing roads at about 25 km or 13.5 nautical miles from the Terneuzen locks. The river Scheldt estuary gives access to the North Sea by two fairways: the Scheur with depths of water up to 15 m at M.L.L.W.S for westbound ships to the Atlantic and the Oostgat with depths of water up to 8 m at M.L.L.W.S for northbound ships. From Flushing roads where the canal pilot is replaced by a sea pilot it is 33 nautical miles westbound to the Wandelaar pilot station and 17 nautical miles northbound to the Steenbank pilot station. Until the 3 locks at Terneuzen the VTS-VTMIS is managed by the GNA (Gemeenschappelijke Nautische Autoriteit) or Common Nautical Authority, which is a joint authority by the Dutch and Flemish governments. They manage traffic on the Scheldt estuary and on the river Scheldt for the seaports of Flushing, Terneuzen, Ghent and Antwerp. The sea lock at Terneuzen is the largest one where ships with maximum dimensions of 265 m l.o.a. x 34 m b.o.a. x 12.5 m, or 230 m l.o.a. x 37 m b.o.a. x 12,5 m fresh water draught can be locked. On the canal from Terneuzen to Ghent 15 km are under the Dutch management of RWS (Rijkswaterstaat) and 17 km under the Flemish (Belgian) management of AMT (Afdeling Maritieme Toegang). VTS within the boundaries of the port of Ghent and in the middle of the canal is carried out by ASB (Afdeling Scheepvaartbegeleiding) and along the commercial quays/jetties along the canal and in the docks by the Port Commander’s Department – (Harbour Master Office). The depth of water in the canal is 13.5 m and there are no currents or tides. There are only 3 bridge passages to be carried out, respectively at Sluiskil, Sas van Gent and Zelzate bridge. As in all Flemish ports, the Harbour Master or Port Commander/Port Captain and his staff are responsible for the implementation of all laws and general regulations as well as of special regulations concerning the operation and policing of the port, safety of vessel traffic and ships, allocation of berths, safety of all port activities such as loading, discharging and storage of goods (also dangerous/harmful goods) within the port limits and for safeguarding the environment. This is stipulated in a law (5-05-1936) that assigns the statute to the Harbour Master and in a Flemish decree (2-03-1999) concerning the policy and management of the seaports. Overall responsibility for security as required under EU directives 725/2004 and 65/2005 “Enhancing Port Security” is also vested in the Harbour Master who is appointed “Port Security Officer” and president of the Local Committee for Maritime Security. This is stipulated in a federal law (5-02-2007) on Maritime Security. The Port Commander’s Department also has a small fleet of specialized craft for taking immediate action - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - in case of oil pollutions, fires and all other calamities. Floating debris can also be collected by means of a boat. A patrol boat is used to give assistance to sea-going vessels when turning in or out of a dock and for 12 PORT INFORMATION GUIDE Source: Harbour Master Port of Ghent June 2012 PORT OF GHENT PART 1 | 1. FOREWORD HARBOUR MASTER | regulating inland craft traffic when traffic is dense. We also supply drinking-water by boat to sea-going vessels and fixed water mouths are provided for inland craft. For commercial uses we equally have a motor yacht to receive special guests and important customers. The port yacht “Jacob van Artevelde” is very well known and is a pleasant experience to sail on. The whole canal area within the port limits is protected by a glass fibre CCTV system. In case of calamities we can quickly have a view of the site and zoom in by means of sensitive cameras. Some crucial traffic points are also covered by radar. We provide a high-performance ICT platform called ENIGMA (Electronic Network Information for Ghent Maritime Area) to which all port users can connect by means of client-server or web applications. One input is enough for sending cargo manifests, requests for supplying a pilot, boatmen, tugs, water, bunkers, waste collection, etc.

  • Building a Decision Support System
    PIANC-World Congress Panama City, Panama 2018 BUILDING A DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR THE TERNEUZEN LOCKS : COMBINING OPTIMAL MANAGEMENT FOR WATER AND SHIPPING by Chantal Martens 1, Gert-Jan Liek 2, Dré Maes 3, Herman Haas 2, Maarten Deschamps 1, Leen Dekker 2, Harry van ‘ t Westeinde 2, Mario Vermeirssen 2, Harm Verbeek 2, Kees Storm 2 ABSTRACT The Terneuzen lock Complex in the Dutch city of Terneuzen gives access to the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal and thus to the port of Ghent (Belgium) from the Western Scheldt. Currently, the construction of a new lock is being prepared, which is expected to be operational in 2022. In the context of the licensing process for the new lock, how to deal with the available (fresh)water in the most optimal way was examined. The quality values for water (mostly focusing on salt intrusion) must be met, together with the shipping requests and taking into account the daily water management issues of the Canal. Following the conclusions of an expert group, set up to optimize the use of the lock complex, the decision has been made to prepare for a Decision Support System for the Ghent- Terneuzen Canal, in a joint Flemish-Dutch collaboration. This DSS will provide the planners and operators with streamlined and uniform information and support them in the economic and ecologic optimisation of the daily operations of the lock complex. The paper gives an overview of the background and the preparation phase of the DSS. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Ghent-Terneuzen Canal and the Terneuzen Locks The Ghent-Terneuzen Canal is situated on Belgian and Dutch territory and was constructed between 1823 and 1825.

  • From Planning the Port/City to Planning the Port-City Exploring the Economic Interface in European Port Cities Van Den Berghe, Karel*1 & Daamen, Tom*
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Ghent University Academic Bibliography From Planning the Port/City to Planning the Port-City Exploring the Economic Interface in European Port Cities Van den Berghe, Karel*1 & Daamen, Tom* *Delft University of Technology, Department of Management in the Built Environment, Julianalaan 134 2628BL Delft, The Netherlands In last three decades, planning agencies of most ports have institutionally evolved into a (semi-) independent port authority. The rationale behind this process is that port authorities are able to react more quickly to changing logistical and spatial preferences of maritime firms, hence increasing the competitiveness of ports. Although these dedicated port authorities have proven to be largely successful, new economic, social, and environmental challenges are quickly catching up on these port governance models, and particularly leads to (spatial) policy ‘conflicts’ between port and city. This chapter starts by assessing this conflict and argue that the conflict is partly a result of dominant— often also academic—spatial representations of the port city as two separate entities. To escape this divisive conception of contemporary port cities, this chapter presents a relational visualisation method that is able to analyse the economic interface between port and city. Based on our results, we reflect back on our proposition and argue that the core challenge today for researchers and policy makers is acknowledging the bias of port/city, being arguably a self-fulfilling prophecy. Hence, we turn the idea of (planning the) port/city conflicts into planning the port-city’s strengths and weaknesses.

In deze bundel vindt u meer informatie omtrent de accommodatie van ’t Venneken en de nabije omgeving. Oorspronkelijk is onze vereniging ontstaan in 1929 onder de naam BJB en werd later omgedoopt tot KLJ Moerbeke-Waas. Door een mooie toename in ledenaantal de laatste jaren en onze verouderde infrastructuur, was het noodzakelijk een nieuw jeugdlokaal te bouwen. Met de hulp van de daarvoor opgerichte VZW, de eigen KLJ-leden, ouders en sympathisanten zijn we erin geslaagd dit nieuw lokaal te realiseren. ’t Venneken is niet zomaar een lokaal, het is een plaats waar talloze vriendschappen worden gesloten en gekoesterd, waar ontelbare herinneringen worden gemaakt, waar we allemaal jong, maar toch een beetje volwassen kunnen zijn en waar eenieder van ons schrijft aan ons gezamenlijk verhaal! We hopen dat jullie dit ook zo mogen beleven gedurende jullie verblijf in Moerbeke-Waas en stellen ons lokaal ook voor u beschikbaar; zowel voor weekends, vergaderingen als kampen. KLJ-Moerbeke-Waas wenst jullie een fijne tijd in ’t Venneken en omstreken! Veel plezier en hopelijk tot nog eens! Groeten, KLJ Moerbeke-Waas VZW ’t Venneken ! Noodgevallen !
