Antwerp - Kattendijkdok

Start the Havenroute tour of the docks area from the Loodsgebouw (Pilot House) on the embankment north of the Steen, from where the route heads northwards, passing almost immediately the two oldest docks, the Bonapartedok and Willemsdok, at the far end of which can be seen the massive Koninklijk Stapelhuis.

Continue through the Kattendijkdok, built between 1853 and 1860, crossing the Kattendijksluis linking the dock to the river. Adjoining it to the east and north are a number of smaller docks, including the Straatsburgdok - off which leads the Albert Canal - and the Lefebvredok with access to the Scheldt via the Royerssluis.
