Noordster stuck off Noordpolderzijl
On May 23, 2019, the "Noordster" got stuck in the Wadden Sea enroute from Lauwersoog to Noordpolderzijl. It has been a problem for years that the small port is silting up. Recently, dredging was again carried out by the Noorderzijlvest Water Board. The question was whether that has been sufficient to make the port accessible again. The "Noordster" is regularly taking mudflat runners from Lauwersoog to Rottumeroog. Doing this from Noordpolderzijl would make the cruise considerably shorter. In the past, the trips were from Noordpolderzijl. The municipality of Het Hogeland and Noorderzijlvest Water Board have indicated that the problem was receiving attention. But because of the changing climate, increasing costs and nature legislation, it was no longer possible to carry out maintenance in the same way as in the past. In addition, the water board is also investigating alternatives to find a structural solution for silting up. For example, a study was currently being carried out into the effects and feasibility of a construction too ensure that the channel can be flushed and brought to more depth. Skipper de Jonge, together with a number of other tidal enthusiasts, offered a manifesto to the municipality and the water board, calling for cooperation for a better solution to the sludge problem. The grounded ship was still stuck after an hour, and the water level dropped. It was decided to spend the night and to refloat tOn May 23, 2019, the "Noordster" got stuck in the Wadden Sea enroute from Lauwersoog to Noordpolderzijl.
