🇧🇪 Eeklo, Belgium

Eeklo is a city located in Belgium with a population of around 20,000. Although it is not a coastal city, it is situated near the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal, which is a vital waterway connecting the Port of Ghent to the Westerschelde estuary. This makes Eeklo a convenient location for seafarers, shipowners, and crewing companies to access the nearby ports and waterways. However, Eeklo itself does not have any ports, shipyards, or factories producing ship parts.
