==Ferry== The double-decker car ferries that serviced the two Western Scheldt crossings until 2003 were sold to Italian companies. The Queen Beatrix (renamed ''Tremestieri'') and Prince Johan Friso (renamed ''Acciarello'') were adapted for the crossing between [[Messina]] and [[Villa San Giovanni]] on the Italian mainland. With the opening of the road tunnel, the [[Breskens]]-[[Vlissingen]] [[ferry]] was restricted to pedestrians and cyclists. It is operated by Westerschelde Ferry BV, a subsidiary of the province of [[Zeeland]]. The service initially used former car ferries, but as of 2 May 2004 it employs two "[[Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull|small waterplane area twinhulls]]" (swaths, similar to [[catamaran]]s), built at the Royal Schelde Group in Vlissingen (Flushing), and named ''Prins Willem Alexander'' and ''Prinses Máxima''. Upstream, the [[Kruiningen]]-Perkpolder ferry was discontinued without replacement.
