Economy and Infrastructure
On the Ems-Jade Canal , the successor to the low-level trek between Emden and Aurich, which was created in 1798/99 , there is a sports boat harbor and the Voss shipyard .
Boats up to 14 meters in length and four meters in width can moor in the sports boat harbor. The second basin belongs to the Voss shipyard, where ships up to around 50 meters in length can be pulled onto the slipway . Around 128 cutters of the 300 hp class were built here and are still being repaired or extended today.
The nine-kilometer-long ring canal runs through Westerende-Kirchloog, and starts at the barrage near East-Victorbur and ends at the Ems-Jade Canal. It used to be used as a waterway for peat barges, but today it has mainly a drainage function, but is also used by small pleasure craft. In order to emphasize the historical reference, a landing stage has been created at the Moordorf Moor Museum . The ring canal is five to 13 meters wide with a water depth of 0.60 to 1.40 meters.
