Zeebrugge is a village and port located on the coast of Belgium and lies on the North Sea coast. Due to its proximity to major industrial cities in Europe, and because of its transport links, it has become a hub for traffic from all directions. Zeebrugge is also Belgium's most important fishing port and the fish market located there is one of Europe's largest. The harbour was the site of the Zeebrugge Raid on 23 April 1918, when the British Royal Navy put the German inland naval base at Bruges out of action. Admiral Roger Keyes planned and led the assault that stormed the German batteries and sank the ships in the harbour to block the entrance to the base for the last seven months of World War I.
Most of the passengers passing through the port are either enjoying a luxury cruise or crossing by ferry to Hull and Rosyth in the UK. Facilities at the port include several shops, a cafe and comfortable waiting areas.
