Locks and bridges

The Port of Brussels is responsible for 6 engineering structures, 2 locks and 4 bridges, two of which are mobile. These superstructures are meticulously maintained and monitored. 

In addition to those working at the Capitainerie (Harbour Master's Office), there are also bridge operators and lockkeepers in our operational departments who control the engineering structures. These Port superheroes have their hands on deck 7 days a week!
