FAQ Jetties

Why do we need new jetties?

Because we have to move and the harbour will soon only be accessible from the Hemmeland location.

What do they look like?

We opt for a hybrid layout. The Hemmeland A and B remain and the Waterland A and B partly. The other jetties are replaced by floating jetties. For this we make a wide main pier with side jetties. All floating jetties get long and stable finger piers. This way there is a choice for everyone: floating with finger piers or fixed with back posts.

Why floating?

To keep up with the ever-changing water level. The jetties will be made of concrete and 2.4 to 3m wide and the sections will be 20m long. They will be coupled on site. You won’t find them more stable anywhere.

Why not replace it all?

The Hemmeland A and B will remain and the Waterland A and B are still in good condition. Replacing them would be a waste and would not create more space. We also hear from a number of customers that they value the traditional jetties. This way, there is a choice for everyone: floating with finger piers or fixed with back posts.

Why a main pier and not the current layout?

A main pier provides a beautiful central view, from there you can walk straight to the harbour building. The pier will be 6m wide and also offers the opportunity to meet each other. In addition, a pier is easier to close in the evening so that unauthorized persons have less access.

Do I have to walk endlessly?

The harbour is now large and will remain large and the layout makes distances large. But thanks to the wide main pier it quickly feels like you have solid ground under your feet. The furthest places are a bit further than now, but for many moorings the difference in distance is small.
