Because of the fire in the engine room in one of the ferries could some time be dangers in allowing a long Daman file originated. Which was smaller then resumed the ferry again at the end of the afternoon. But after the fire was only one ferry company, so the backup but slowly dwindled.

The first extra ferry left around 22:15. After that still definitely a time to sail and maybe even twice. The last departure would be at 23:30. Normally, the last ferry around 21:30.

The fire was originated on the ferry Schulpengat because a relay was blown. The boat has been damaged thereby. It is not yet certain whether the boat is repaired Monday. This weekend, the boat would not be used anyway.

The fire was Friday afternoon scene quickly to extinguish the small fire on the Schulpengat. The passengers were accommodated in a building of Teso. After a while the passengers were allowed to get their cars on board.

Since there is only one instance in Den Helder place, the harbor was blocked for several hours and could not moor the other ferry. On the roads to the port of Den Helder and at the terminal on the island were created long queues. The traffic service ANWB and VID not give the advice to go to the ports
