Overview
- Technicians are repairing the haul cable and its connections, with staff working on site to restore operations as soon as possible.
- On Sunday evening a passing cargo ship struck the ferry’s guiding system, leaving the vessel briefly rudderless before it was secured at the Gelderland shore.
- No injuries were reported, according to the regional safety authority, though the damage was significant enough to halt the timetable.
- Three small guiding boats (bochtaken/kabelschuiten) were damaged and the haul chain likely sustained damage, with a full assessment still underway.
- The operator has posted notices online and at the dike, and travelers are being directed to nearby ferries at Wijk bij Duurstede–Rijswijk and Ingen–Elst or to cross via the A27 near Culemborg.
