The Scheepshelling Koningspoort is a working shipyard nestled in the Oude Haven, instantly identifiable by the sight of historic vessels pulled onto dry land on tracks. Established in nineteen eighty-three, this site occupies the former transit point where the Maas river once flowed into Rotterdam's oldest harbor. It features a cross-slipway that utilizes five rail-mounted carts to lift ships weighing up to one hundred and fifty tons out of the water for restoration.
