| Description | |
| Summary | The Antwerpse Zeehavendienst carries out very frequent soundings on the thresholds in the Western Scheldt and Beneden Zeeschelde. Furthermore, the depth in the Beneden Schelde is completely sounded and mapped anew every 2 years (sectional charts). The Boven Zeeschelde is completely mapped anew at 5-10 year intervals. Moreover, a 'folding' chart ('plooikaart') of the Scheldt from Zeebrugge up to the Rupel is edited annually. |
