A canal in Belgium. It connects the ports of Liège and Antwerp, and is 129.6 km long. It was named after King Albert I. Before World War II, Liège and its surrounding area was Belgium's largest industrial (coal and steel) region on the Meuse River, but since the Meuse River passes through Liège and enters Dutch territory, construction began in 1930 as a canal that passes through Belgian territory to directly connect this region with the port of Antwerp, and it was opened in 1939. The elevation difference between Liège and Antwerp is about 56 meters, and it has six locks, allowing 2,000-ton ships to navigate the canal in one to two days.

ベルギーの運河。リエージュとアントワープ港を結び,全長129.6km。国王アルベール1世にちなんで命名された。第2次大戦前,リエージュとその周辺地域はムーズ川に臨むベルギー最大の工業(石炭・鉄鋼業)地域であったが,ムーズ川はリエージュを過ぎるとオランダ領に入るので,ベルギー領内を通過してこの地域とアントワープ港とを直接に結ぶ運河として,1930年に着工し,39年開通した。リエージュとアントワープの標高差は約56mで,6個の閘門を備え,2000トンの船舶が1~2日で航行できる。
