...zoals deze is gewijzigd bij beschikking van de Minister van Verkeer en Waterstaat..., voor het hebben van en gebruiken van het in kilometerrai [number] nabij de [bridge] aan het kanaal [name] van de X kanalen aangesloten kanaaldeelte.
And can anyone unscramble the bit from bridge to the end, because I can't work out what it's talking about.
