📋 Tender Overview
The province of Noord-Holland is calling on recreational skippers to use a digital sailing guide.Sailing in the province of North Holland is all about enjoying yourself but also about sailing smoothly. This is possible with a digital sailing guide. In addition to personal route information and useful sailing information it is possible to send automatic opening requests to more than 50 connected bridges in North Holland. The province is thus encouraging convoy sailing. As a result the bridge does not have to be opened as often and that ensures a better flow on road and water. Better flow on road and waterBy entering the desired destination in one of the digital sailing guides the skipper receives personal route advice as well as the option to submit automatic opening requests for the bridges. Thanks to this unique function in the digital sailing guide the bridge operator knows that the skipper is coming. Together with the information about the congestion on the road public transport and the emergency and emergency services the bridge operator can determine the best operating time. The front ship may have to wait a while until a convoy is formed but after that the skipper will experience the benefits of sailing on the Blue Wave.Provincial Accessibility and Mobility Jeroen Olthof The more skippers use a sailing guide the more we can take recreation skippers into account. With the digital sailing guide we stimulate convoy sailing in which a large group of skippers pass the bridge at once. We call that sailing on the Blue Wave just like the Green Wave on the road but on the water. Not only do skippers have to wait less often at a bridge fewer bridge openings are also beneficial for road traffic.
