Rijkswaterstaat will replace the posts of the maintenance quay at the Texel ferry port starting 5 January 2026, a three‑week operation that will not affect ferry service. The posts keep the TESO ferry boat ‘Dokter Wagemaker’ safely alongside the quay during routine maintenance or in calm periods. After many years, several iron posts have become vulnerable, damaged or broken. The new posts will be anchored only deep in the ground, allowing them to move slightly with the ferry’s forces and extending their lifespan. Contractor De Jong Zuurmond will begin with dredging before installing the posts, a work that may produce some vibrations and noise for visitors. The replacement is part of a broader programme of upgrades at Dutch ferry ports.
