NETHERLANDS-EUROPE-STORM-SURGE-BARRIER
The giant Maeslant surge barrier that guards the entrance to the largest port in Europe, Rotterdam is closed, 09 November 2007, for the first time since its construction in the 1990s. It took half-an-hour for the two doors of the barrier across the Nieuwe Waterweg to meet, spanning a channel 360 metres wide. By afternoon, the Netherlands reported that the flood threat had eased, with no major damage reported after dykes and other protective measures were closed to protect the country, a third of which is below sea level.
