The Pierre Vandamme lock (finished in 1985) connects the tidal outer port with the non-tidal inner port. Its dimensions (500 m long, 57 m wide, a usable depth of 18.50 m and a maximum water volume of 527,000 m³) allow to receive the biggest car carriers or several vessels at the same time. The lock has two lock gates and a double lift bridge on each side. The harbour master's office and the port authority guarantee the permanent lock operation and the shipping coordination from the Zeebrugge inner port up to Bruges.
