Entering the Seaport of Moerdijk
Approaching Moerdijk
As you approach the seaport of Moerdijk, you will first see the Moerdijk Bridge, which spans the Hollands Diep river. The bridge is a landmark that can be seen from miles away and serves as a useful navigational aid.
Entering the Port
Once you pass under the Moerdijk Bridge, you will see the entrance to the seaport of Moerdijk. The entrance is marked by two large breakwaters that protect the port from the open sea. The breakwaters are clearly visible and should be approached with caution.
Following the Channel

Communicating with the Port Authority
As you approach your designated berth or terminal, you should contact the port authority on VHF channel 12 to request permission to enter. The port authority will provide you with further instructions and may assign you a pilot to assist with the navigation.
Mooring at the Berth
Once you have received permission to enter, you should proceed to your designated berth or terminal and prepare to moor. The mooring process will vary depending on the type of vessel and the specific berth, but it is important to follow the instructions provided by the port authority and the terminal operators.
