Belgium does not have a coastline on the sea, so it does not have "marine ports" in the conventional sense. However, it does possess significant inland ports that are connected to the North Sea via intricate canal and river systems. One notable inland port is the Port of Antwerp, which is among the largest in the world.

Bocholt, in Belgium, is a town in the Limburg province and it is not known for having a large port. It is more likely to have smaller inland waterway connections and possibly some minor docking facilities catering to local industries and commercial activities. Here's an outline assuming any existing facilities related to inland waterways:

Bocholt Port Description:

  • Location: Limburg Province, Belgium
  • Coordinates: Approximately 51.1724° N latitude and 5.5683° E longitude
  • Type: Inland port
  • Purpose: Primarily used for local industrial, agricultural, and possibly small-scale commercial transportation and logistical purposes.

Specifications:

  1. Waterway Connectivity:

    • Connected to the inland waterway network of Limburg and the larger network in Belgium.
    • Proximity to the Bocholt-Herentals Canal, which connects to the Dessel-Turnhout-Schoten Canal, integrating the local system with broader Belgian and European inland water transport networks.

Keep in mind, for precise and updated details, reaching out to local administrative bodies, such as the municipal office of Bocholt or the Flemish Waterway authority, would provide the most accurate and recent information.
