Europe plans 67-mile Canal Seine-Nord Europe (SNEC) as suez canal alternative
Posted on June 17, 2024 |
The Suez Canal, a remarkable feat of engineering built in April 1859, connected the Mediterranean to the Red Sea, facilitating trade between Europe and Asia.
Europe is now developing its own version of this vital waterway, known as the Canal Seine-Nord Europe (SNEC), spanning 67 miles and linking the Oise River to the Dunkirk-Escaut Canal.
The SNEC aims to enhance freight transportation between Paris, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, part of a broader network connecting the Seine and Rhine river basins.
Planning for the SNEC began in the 1960s, with completion scheduled for 2028 at an estimated cost of €5 billion (£4.2 billion).
Notable features include seven locks, with the deepest one at Moislains reaching 30 meters, and a remarkable 1.3-kilometer navigable bridge lifting the canal 30 meters above the protected Somme Valley wetland.
The SNEC will measure 54 meters wide and 4.50 meters deep, accommodating vessels weighing up to 4,400 tonnes, significantly expanding freight capacity compared to its predecessor.
