==Maasmond==
The point where the Nieuwe Waterweg enters into the North Sea, between [[Hook of Holland]] on the north bank and the [[Maasvlakte]] to the south, is called the Maasmond. It is marked with two navigation light-towers called the Paddestoelen ("mushrooms"). The Nieuwe Waterweg connects, in the North Sea, to the [[Eurogeul#Maasgeul|Maasgeul]].<ref name="rws"/> This dredged channel in the North Sea is being widened to {{convert|840|m}} to facilitate the largest container vessels for the new [[Maasvlakte 2]] that opened in 2013.<ref>Dredging Today: [http://www.dredgingtoday.com/2012/02/19/the-netherlands-ministry-expands-maasgeul/ Dutch ministry expands Maasgeul], 19 February 2012.
