Traffic measures during the SAIL-Out parade
On Sunday, 24 August 2025, at 14:00, the SAIL-Out Parade (hereafter referred to as "the Parade") will take place as part of the SAIL 2025 event. The Parade will feature a convoy of approximately 50 Tall Ships, accompanied by a large number of historic vessels, passenger ships, and recreational craft. The Parade is scheduled to begin at 14:00 from the IJhaven and is expected to conclude around 19:00, when the last vessels pass through the locks at IJmuiden.
Given the scale of the Parade, specific traffic measures and temporary closures will be implemented during the event to ensure the smooth and safe flow of shipping traffic. These measures and closures are necessary and will be kept to a minimum. They may be adjusted, as required, with the possibility of extending or shortening the duration depending on the circumstances. The measures will apply to both municipal and national waters.
