Despite the construction of the Scheldt-Rhine Canal, the Canal trough Zuid-Beveland has retained its value for inland shipping between the Westerschelde and the Rhine, particularly for taller ships (there are no fixed bridges over the canal).

This canal was completed in 1866 connecting the Westerschelde and the Oosterschelde; locks were constructed at Hansweert and Wemeldinge.
