About the Spaarndam, Spaarndam – Assendelft, Assendelft crossing

Seventy-two departures, twenty minutes apart, from 00:10 to 23:50, and every single one runs seven days a week. There is no night gap, no weekend version and no seasonal variation — the same three sailings an hour, round the clock.

0.2 nautical miles

Roughly four hundred metres across the Noordzeekanaal north-west of Amsterdam. The crossing is timed at 6 minutes, most of which is the ramps and the traffic.

Why a ferry and not a bridge

The canal carries seagoing ships, so a fixed crossing here would have to be a tunnel or a very high bridge. The pont is cheaper than either, and the twenty-minute headway is what makes it work as part of the road network rather than an interruption to it.

8 August to 8 November 2026

A three-month listing. Dutch ferry timetables of this kind are reissued rather than extended, and the headway is what tends to survive the change.

Vehicles, pets & onboard

  • Free IJ crossings behind Centraal Station
  • OVpay with debit card, phone or watch
