The North Sea Canal (Dutch: Noordzeekanaal) is a Dutchship canal from Amsterdam to the North Sea at IJmuiden, constructed between 1865 and 1876 to enable seafaring vessels to reach the port of Amsterdam.[1] This man-made channel terminates at Amsterdam in the closed-off IJ Bay, which in turn connects to the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal.
The drainage of the canal to the North Sea is done through the Spui Locks at IJmuiden, augmented by the largest pumping station in Europe. This system is vital to the groundwater management of the Western Netherlands.
History[edit]
To improve the connection between the harbour of Amsterdam and the North Sea, the North Holland Canal was built in 1824. But this long and narrow canal was quickly inadequate to handle the growing boat traffic. A few decades later it was decided to dig a new canal at the narrowest point in Holland and thereby providing the shortest route to the sea.
Digging began on 8 March 1865, at the dunes of Breesaap and lasted until 1876. Since no Dutch company was willing to take on this task, the project was awarded to an English contractor.[citation needed]
The North Sea Canal was built by digging a channel through the old IJ Bay and lining it with dikes, after which the remaining portions of the IJ Bay were reclaimed and turned into polders. From this bay to the sea, a new canal was dug through the dunes at Velsen. To accommodate drainage of and shipping on the tributaries of the IJ, such as the Spaarne, the Zaan, and the Nauerna Canal, nine auxiliary canals needed to be dug as well (Side Canals 'A' to 'I').
A small set of locks (Zuidersluis) were built at the mouth in 1876 where the new town of IJmuiden (Dutch for 'IJ Mouth') formed. In 1896 the Middle Locks (Middensluis) were built, followed by the North Locks (Noordersluis) in 1929, which were Europe's largest locks at that time.
At the eastern end of the canal, east of Amsterdam, the IJ Bay was open to the Zuiderzee until 1872 when the Orange Locks (Oranjesluizen) were built. With the completion of these locks the North Sea Canal and IJ Bay were no longer open to the sea and a specific water level could be maintained.
The canal was dug using manual labour. The workers lived in horrid conditions, being housed in huts built from twigs, driftwood, sod, and straw, where disease, fights, and alcohol abuse were rampant. [2]
On 1 November 1876, the North Sea Canal was officially opened by King William III of the Netherlands. Over the years the canal has been widened and deepened several times.
Side canals[edit]
The North Sea Canal and the IJ have 10 side canals (in Dutch: Zijkanaal), which connect to rivers and other canals which used to flow into the former IJ Bay before its reclamation.
- Zijkanaal A - connects the harbour of Beverwijk to the North Sea Canal, also an inundation canal of the Stelling van Amsterdam.
- Zijkanaal B - connected Spaarndam to the North Sea Canal, but was cut off from it by the construction of the A9 motorway in the 1960s. It is now used for canoeing and mooring of houseboats.
- Zijkanaal C - connects the Spaarne river at Spaarndam to the North Sea Canal at Buitenhuizen, and also functions as the main drainage canal of the Rijnland water board. The A9 motorway has an operable bridge over this side canal.
- Zijkanaal D - connects the Nauerna Canal to the North Sea Canal.
- Zijkanaal E - a very short canal connecting the south end of Westzaan to the North Sea Canal.
- Zijkanaal F - connected Halfweg to the North Sea Canal, but is now mostly backfilled. A small portion remains and is used as a drainage canal.
- Zijkanaal G - connects Zaandam and the Zaan River to the North Sea Canal.
- Zijkanaal H - connects the Barndegat to the North Sea Canal.
- Zijkanaal I - connects the East Zaan Overtoom to the IJ Bay.
- Zijkanaal K - connects the harbour of Nieuwendam to the IJ Bay.
Approach[edit]
Vessels with a draft of more than 14 metres should use the IJgeul.
To protect access to the channel jetties were built in the sea.
In 1957 the Delft Hydraulics Laboratory began research for the best solution. The result was two jetties with 500 m difference in length between the southern and the northern one. The length of the north pier should be 1500 m to 2500 m and the south jetty of about 3000 m. This is to prevent the silting of the entrance channel and to ensure that vessels entering suffer less from the prevailing south-west and north-south flow along the coast.
Locks[edit]
There are four locks, of various sizes at the North Sea mouth of the canal: [3] When the north canal lock was opened in 1929 it was the largest canal lock in the world. [4]

Crossings[edit]
Railway and metrotunnels (with nearest station on the south and north bank):
- between Amsterdam Centraal station and Noorderpark metro station
- between Amsterdam Sloterdijk railway station and Zaandam railway station
- between Driehuis railway station and Beverwijk railway station
Road tunnels, from east to west:
- Zeeburger Tunnel and Zeeburger Bridge (part of the A10 motorway)
- IJ Tunnel
- Coen Tunnel (part of the A10 motorway)
- Wijker Tunnel (part of the A9 motorway)
- Velser Tunnel (part of the A22 motorway)
The most western crossing is the road over the locks. The route depends on which of the locks is closed.
Several ferries. In Amsterdam there are several across the IJ; at least one is frequent, operating 24 hours a day, free of charge.
Bicyclists may only cross the canal at the locks or in the very south of Amsterdam or via ferries. Tunnels for bicyclists still do not exist.

Ocean Casino Resort, formerly known as Ocean Resort Casino, launched its gambling site in July 2018, becoming the 18th NJ online casino. NJ gambling websites now number almost two dozen.
New players get a 100% Deposit Match Bonus up to $500 with our exclusive link and promo code PLAYBONUS at OceanOnlineCasino.com.
Ocean Casino is the new name of the mega-resort in Atlantic City that used to be Revel, and then was TEN.
Set at the end of the Boardwalk, the casino is the tallest building in AC and one of the largest. In early 2018, AC Oceanwalk bought the property and renamed it. It was immediately given a new name and a scheduled opening date of summer 2018.
Ocean also quickly announced a partnership with software developer GAN in January 2018 in preparation to launch its online casino.
Finally, on June 28, the property that came to symbolize the AC casino decline officially re-opened its doors.
Ocean Casino Resort online promotions
Ocean Resort describes their online welcome offer as “the biggest welcome bonus in New Jersey,” with a welcome bonus of a 100% Deposit Match Bonus up to $500, and a huge $10,000 offered for first-time depositors.
The wagering requirement for this is 30x.
The second bonus is the bigger one, weighing in at a possible $10,000 over 10 days. Deposit $10 or more each day to trigger each bonus and unlock the next day’s deposit bonus. These deposit match offers increase in scale each day, as follows:
- Bonus 1: 100% deposit match up to $100
- Bonus 2: 100% up to $200
- Bonus 3: 100% up to $350
- Bonus 4: 100% up to $500
- Bonus 5: 100% up to $750
- Bonus 6: 100% up to $1,000
- Bonus 7: 100% up to $1,250
- Bonus 8: 100% up to $1,500
- Bonus 9: 100% up to $1,850
- Bonus 10: 100% up to $2,500
This bonus also has a 30x playthrough requirement, which means you must wager as much as $75,000 if you take advantage of the full offer. However, if you only deposit the $10 minimum each day, your bonus will be worth $200 and have a $6,000 requirement.
Both bonuses have three other conditions attached. Low or no-risk bets, such as odd-even on roulette, and bets of more than $3 do not count toward the wagering requirement.
Secondly, like many NJ online casinos, different Ocean Online Casino games contribute a different percentage to your wagering requirements:
- Slots: 100 percent
- Roulette: 50 percent
- All other table games: 10 percent
Ocean Casino Resort software
Ocean Casino online is powered by an award-winning, London-based developer, GAN.
In 2015 and 2016, GAN won eGaming Review North America’s Casino Platform of the Year award. This certifies the company as a top developer. In New Jersey, it is known as the power behind the Betfair online casino.
Ocean’s gambling website is easy to navigate and simple to use, with effective presentation. Transferring between game sections while browsing is seamless, with simple but clean animations.
It does not yet provide a dedicated mobile application for iOS or Android devices, but its mobile site can still be accessed in the browser. While it is perfectly functional, it loses a lot of the aesthetic appeal of the main site, as well as 50 percent of the slots titles on offer.
Ocean Online Casino partners with a range of software developers for its games, including:
- International Gaming Technology (IGT)
- Spielo
- Ainsworth Game Technology (AGT)
- Game King
Games at Ocean Online Casino
Blackjack
At the moment, Ocean Casino only offers one blackjack table, compared to the 10-plus tables available at some other NJ online casinos. Since Ocean Resort online casino is still in the early stages, we foresee this changing soon.
Slots
Ocean Online’s slots collection encompasses 61 titles, including nine exclusive AGT games:
- Roaring Reels
- Big Prize Bubblegum
- Winning Wolf
- Eagle Bucks
- Mustang Money
- Sheer Magic
- Grand Dragon
- Money Heat
- Safari Sprint
While 60-plus titles is not a weak collection for the industry, you can expect Ocean Casino to keep adding to it over the coming months as they aim to rival the hundreds-strong repertoires of some other NJ online casinos.
One thing conspicuously absent is progressive jackpot slots. Ocean does, however, have a ‘jackpot’ section where they can be listed, so you can be certain this popular type of game will be coming soon.
Video poker
Ocean King Slot Machine
Ocean Casino online offers seven video poker titles:
- Double Double Bonus Poker
- Bonus Poker
- Game King Jacks or Better
- Double Bonus Poker
- Jacks or Better
- Deuces Wild
Most are developed by Game King, and this is an average amount for NJ online casinos.
Other games
Lastly, the casino hosts one roulette table and one baccarat table. It should be working on expanding this collection, as roulette is extremely popular at online casinos.
It also features an ‘in-casino’ section for games that are available at the Boardwalk location. The casino also intends to launch live dealer games through a partnership with Evolution Gaming sometime in summer 2018.
Ocean Online Casino mobile app
Unfortunately, Ocean’s online casino does not, as of yet, offer a dedicated casino application for smartphones or tablets.
It still has an optimized mobile site that can be accessed from your device’s browser. Often, these browser-based solutions can be more forgiving to owners of older devices. This is because applications often require a modern version of a given operating system to download them.
This is rarely a problem with mobile browser-based casinos, and it isn’t an issue with Ocean Casino.
Mobile features
Its mobile offering worked well on both the Android and iOS devices we tested it on.
The menus were still easy to navigate on a touchscreen, and all the features worked smoothly and quickly. However, the visually pleasing photo background of the main casino site was replaced with a monotone backdrop, and some of the impressively animated menu transitions have also been dropped.
Mobile games
About 50 percent of Ocean Casino’s slots games are not available on the mobile site. All its other table games and video poker titles are present — except the baccarat table, which is dropped in favor of an extra roulette table.
Banking options at Ocean Online Casino
Deposit options
There are five different deposit options ($10 min) at Ocean Online Casino:
- Visa/Mastercard
- ECheck (ACH)
- PayNearMe
- The casino cage
- Bank wire
Visa, Mastercard, and ACH are the most straightforward methods, but you may run into problems with your particular bank if they do not accept online gambling transactions. PayNearMe offers an extra level of security, using a trusted third-party provider. However, it can be inconvenient to use when you have to visit a store to pay or top up.
If you have access to it, the Ocean land-based casino cage might be your quickest option. Its address is 500 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, NJ 08401.
There are no fees for deposits. Ocean Casino does not state a maximum daily deposit limit, although the minimum per deposit is $10.
We asked customer service to provide this information, but we did not receive a clear response. Through our own independent research, we found that PayNearMe cards do come with a $500 daily limit for gambling transactions.
Withdrawal options
The same five deposit options are also available for withdrawal at Ocean Casino. We could not find any information on withdrawal limits, except the $10 minimum, even after asking customer service.
We did find the casino aims to process all withdrawal requests within 24 hours. This does not include time spent verifying your information for know your customer (KYC) purposes. This may require you to submit photographs of your proof-of-address or identity documents before you make your first withdrawal, which may take some time.
Once the money is on your prepaid card or in your PayNearMe account, you can withdraw it instantly from participating retailers. Visa or Mastercard customers may have to wait for an extra one to three days.
If you can get there, withdrawing from the physical casino cage may be the fastest method. This goes for first-time withdrawals especially, since you can bring your identity documents with you and avoid the back-and-forth emails and photo uploading. You will still have to request your withdrawal online first before collecting your cash 24 hours later.
Ocean Casino customer service
Ocean Casino Resort’s customer service can be contacted in the following four ways:
- Live chat
- The casino cage
- Phone: 1-866-850-1186
- Email: [email protected]
Ocean Casino does not specify the live chat or phone line operating times. Email help is available 24/7. Its live chat agents were helpful and efficient. This is especially so compared to the email response team, who did not satisfactorily respond to our queries — even after several attempts.
Ocean King Slot
It also has a frequently asked questions (FAQ) section, but it is far from comprehensive and often redirects you to pages missing key information. For the best customer support, we recommend visiting the physical casino, as senior management will be easier to contact there.
