Rotterdam - Harbor
On the far side of the Noordereiland is the Koningshaven (1km/.75mile long), with the oldest port installations on the left bank of the Maas (1873), which is spanned by road and rail bridges. To the south of this is the Feijenoord district, with the Binnenhaven, the Spoorweghaven, the large Maashaven (58 hectares/143 acres), built on the site of the old village of Katendrecht, and the small Charlois (pronounced Sharlóis) Docks.

Waalhaven
To the west of the Charlois Docks stretches the large Waalhaven (310 hectares/766 acres), one of the largest dock complexes in the world. West of the Waalhaven is the suburb of Pernis, at the junction of the Oude and the Nieuwe Maas, where the Nieuwe Waterweg (Het Scheur) begins. From here the vast Europoort complex extends westward between the Nieuwe Waterweg and the Brielse Maas (Brielse Meer) to reach the North Sea at Hoek van Holland.
