Rijkswaterstaat has replaced the piling at Texel’s ferry port, contracted to de Jong Zuurmond. The iron piling, placed deep underground and not anchored to the quay, allow slight movement with ferry forces, extending their lifespan. Weather delays in early 2026 pushed work start dates but did not impact timelines. The project is part of maintenance efforts at Texel and Den Helder ferry ports, ensuring safe usage until eventual replacement of landings. Work focuses on securing TESO ferryboats during maintenance or calm periods, with no reported incidents linked to the maintenance damage.
