Port service

For the provision of assistance during the mooring and departure of large vessels in the seaport of Den Helder, the Den Helder Municipal Port Authority offers a so-called port service. This is a response to the safety wishes of the port's users.

The port service can be requested from the Den Helder Municipal Port Authority 24 hours a day (phone: +31(0)6-52553815). In order to be able to provide a suitable service, assistance must be requested three hours before the arrival and/or departure of a vessel.

In respect of charges, no BRT table is employed. Instead, the charges are broken down into daytime, evening, night-time, weekend and holiday services.

The accompanying charges are based on the assumption of possible use. Because this is not a compulsory service, charges will be evaluated at a later stage, and possibly adapted according to current levels of use. The service is for the time being only available in the outer port. A detailed schedule will be published as soon as a sound basis for evaluation has been established. Should you have any suggestions, please submit them before that time, to allow them to be included in any definitive schedule.
