About the Krimpen a/d IJssel, Stormpolder – Ridderkerk, De Schans crossing
Eighteen departures run every day, from 11:22 to 19:52. Seven more run Monday to Saturday from 08:22, two on weekdays at 07:22 and 07:52, and one at 20:22 on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Eight minutes across the Noord
The crossing covers 2 nautical miles between Krimpen and Ridderkerk. Waterbus runs it as part of the Rotterdam-area public transport network rather than as a ferry in the tourist sense.
The morning belongs to the week
Nothing runs before eleven on a Sunday, against twenty past seven on a weekday. That gap is the clearest signal of what the early service carries.
Season
The listed plan runs to 4 October 2026. Winter editions reduce frequency, so twenty-eight sailings is the main-season figure.
