The goal: a future-proof design that keeps the connection with Texel safe, robust, and easily accessible.
During the administrative consultation on December 4, 2025, it was confirmed that the new landing facility in Den Helder will be located at the head of the parking lot, east of the current location. This will keep the current ferry port operational during construction. In addition, the parties are working on sufficient parking space, better bus connections, and more space for cyclists and pedestrians.
In the coming months, the focus will be on clarifying the financing, developing a construction phasing plan, and intensive coordination between all parties involved. More clarity is expected on the final design and spatial integration around the summer of 2026.
