🇧🇪 Halen, Belgium

Halen is a small city located in the Flemish region of Belgium. It has a population of around 10,000 people. While not directly on the coast, Halen is still of interest to seafarers, shipowners, and crewing companies as it is located near the Albert Canal, which connects the industrial regions of Belgium and provides access to major ports like Antwerp and Rotterdam. This proximity to the canal makes it an ideal location for logistics and transportation companies involved in maritime trade.
