The Prince Willem-Alexander Lock will be closed to shipping traffic from February 28 to March 4, 2025. In extreme weather conditions, Rijkswaterstaat will move the blockage to the period March 7 to March 11, 2025. Shipping traffic will use diversion routes during the blockage.

Some skippers indicated that it would be helpful if the Westport numbers public wharves could be found on our website. For example, in case of emergencies or if they get a visit from BV and mechanic.

Cars were regularly parked on the breakwater at Haparanda Dam, even though this is not allowed.

Due to an ongoing legal dispute over the future use of ADM Westhaven, we are unfortunately forced to decommission the car drop-off area.

At the cone waiting berths in the Australiehaven, three or four ships were regularly moored alongside on both sides of the jetty. This was not an ideal situation. Therefore, we replaced this jetty for two new jetties.

Due to stricter ISPS regulations, it had become impossible to combine the car drop-off point/drinking water tapping point at the mouth of Afrikahaven with a coaster waiting area on the other side of the jetty.
