The Belgian and Dutch Navy

With their frigates, patrol vessels, and specialized diving teams, our maritime security is safeguarded – from detecting mines to protecting shipping routes. During Ostend at Anchor, they not only dock with an impressive navy ship, but you also get the chance to come aboard, talk to crew members, and even test your maritime knowledge. Perfect for anyone who’s always wanted to speak with a real sailor or secretly dreams of wearing a uniform with gold stripes.

Be sure to check out the BNS Castor. This patrol vessel is moored at post 302 behind the Demey Lock.
