What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Netherlands

Sailing boats are a popular choice for those looking to immerse themselves in the traditional seafaring experience. These vessels, with their single hull design and reliance on wind power, provide a real sense of connection with the sea. In the Netherlands, with its extensive waterways and moderate weather conditions, sailing boats are perfect for navigating through narrow canals and experiencing the charming scenery up close.

On the other hand, catamarans offer a unique blend of comfort, stability, and speed. With their dual hull design, catamarans provide a more spacious layout, making them a great option for larger groups or those planning an extended journey. Their stability is especially beneficial when sailing on the North Sea, providing a smoother ride in a variety of sea conditions. Additionally, catamarans can be powered by either sails or motors, offering more versatility depending on your preferred sailing style.

At Yachting.Rent, we offer a wide selection of both sailing boats and catamarans, all impeccably maintained and equipped with modern amenities. Our team of experts will guide you in choosing the vessel that best suits your needs and preferences, ensuring your journey through the Dutch waters is as pleasurable and memorable as possible.

So whether you’re leaning towards the traditional charm of a sailing boat or the modern comfort of a catamaran, Yachting.Rent ensures your sailing experience in the Netherlands will be a journey of discovery and delight. Let’s embark on this adventure together.

Wie zijn wij: YCU Flevostrand, een familiebedrijf

YCU Flevostrand is in 1998 begonnen als Yacht Charter Urk. Het verhuurbedrijf van motorjachten werd opgericht door Peter en Truida de Heus. Het bedrijf aan de Urkervaart bij Urk groeide gestaag en begon een tweede vestiging, bij Recreatiepark Flevostrand. Dit alles op basis van kwalitatief goede motorjachten, van eenvoudig tot luxe, en met de service en ondersteuning zoals je die alleen van een familiebedrijf kunt verwachten. Peter en Truida de Heus hebben niet alleen de steun van een aantal gepassioneerde medewerkers, maar ook van hun twee dochters, Kim en Lisa, en van zoon Bas. Bas is zelfs medevennoot geworden. In 2018 heeft de familie besloten om te stoppen met de vestiging in Urk, om zich volledig te kunnen concentreren op YCU Flevostrand. Onder meer vanwege de fantastische ligging aan het Veluwemeer.

Netherlands yacht charter

Netherlands is one of the most densely populated countries in the  world. Wherever you sail, there is no chance to get away from  civilization. Almost all cities are highly populated, especially in the  Randstad area, where traffic jams is serious problem. Most of the  country territory is at, or below the sea level with landscape dominated  by plains and waterways. This makes the Netherlands an ideal country  for agriculture and sailing vacations. Hills can be found only in the  Veluwe and in the southern Limburg. In almost all rural areas you will  find highly developed farms, which make the Netherlands one of the  world's largest food exporters.

Yacht charter Netherlands

The IJsselmeer and the Frisian seas, all popular waters for sailing, can be easily reached from our yacht charter base at Marina Lelystad in the Netherlands. A typical flat landscape with lots of greenery, long dune beaches and nice little fishing villages in Dutch style await you. Windmills dominate the landscape and during a sailing trip in spring you can view the typical Dutch tulip fields from the water. The capital Amsterdam is also worth a visit and is easily accessible with a yacht charter in Holland.

Leisurely sailing in the Netherlands

On the Marker Sea and the IJsselmeer you can still feel the rough Zuiderzee, as it used to be called. There are almost always very good wind conditions for sailing in the Netherlands . From Lelystad, the crossing to North Holland on the North Sea can be done in one day.

Rent a sailboat in Holland and experience the vastness of the IJsselmeer

If you rent a sailing boat in the Netherlands , you can explore the Markermeer, the IJsselmeer and, via the North Holland Route, the Frisian islands of Texel, Vlieland and Terschelling. The IJsselmeer as well as the Markermeer is a body of water closed off by dikes and thus protected. Here, even less experienced sailors or families can start a sailing trip in the North Sea.

The towns bordering the inland waterway are accessible via a well-developed waterway network. Medemblik in North Netherlands invites you to take a stroll through the medieval town centre. Nature lovers can visit the Nieuw Land National Park right next to our yacht charter in the Netherlands. It borders on the Marker Sea.

The Marker Sea is surrounded by towns and villages. On land, sailors will find pubs, restaurants, cafés, and modern and historic town centres. The variety of options from shopping to sightseeing fulfils every holiday wish. The highlight is of course the metropolis, Amsterdam, which can be reached from our base in Lelystad in just a few nautical miles through the Mark Sea. From the Amsterdam Marina or the Sixt Harbour, it is only a stone's throw by ferry to the centre of the capital.

Sailing the Frisian Seas in the Netherlands

The IJsselmeer reaches as far north as the province of Friesland. So, with a yacht charter from Lelystad in the Netherlands, you can visit four towns of the "Frisian Eleven": Stavoren, Hindeloopen, Workum and Harlingen. The eleven towns in Friesland are the places that already had city rights in the Middle Ages, all old colonial towns that you can include in your yacht charter.

During a sailing trip from our yacht charter base in the Netherlands, you can visit numerous historic harbour towns and charming fishing villages.

In the Netherlands, the boat is an indispensable part of everyday life. Sailors can look forward to cosy harbours and perfect sailing conditions.

North Holland Route

Base: Lelystad

Location description

From marina Lelystad Haven it goes in south-west direction to Amsterdam. Here we moor either in Six Haven or in Marina Amsterdam and spend 1 to 2 days in Amsterdam down to your‘ s whim.

Then we lock through Oranje Sluis and the North Sea Canal to IJmuiden. Here we spend the night in the Marina IJmuiden or lock the same or the next day with the accumulating water on to the North Sea island of Texel (50sm, approx. 5 h +, with accumulating water up to 3 knots faster!)

We spend the night in the Qudeschild marina in Texel. It is recommended to rent a bike and explore the island with its nice little places. The long sandy beach on the North Sea coast of the island is especially beautiful! Here in the marina Qudeschild you can spend a second night due to manifold amenities in the area. A special tip for nature lovers or families with children is a visit to the seals sanctuary in the Ecomare Nature Museum on Californiaweg near the North Sea coast halfway along the island.

With accumulating water we reach the lock Kornerderzand. Here we lock back into the IJsselmeer with the destination Hindeloopen or Stavoren.

From here you can set your course towards Enkhuizen the next day. Enkhuizen is an attractive and diverse shopping city. The cozy city center offers various small and large shops as well as a number of creative markets. With old-fashioned shops and modern boutiques as well as numerous cafes, shopping here makes fun.

Then we sail through the Markermeer back to Lelystad, past the artificially created group of islands of the Marker Wadden, a beautiful nature reserve.

The capital of the province of Flevoland is named after the builder of the final dike, Cornelis Lely. The place was built on a polder about 5 m below sea level. Lelystad is considered a green garden city with modern architecture. We recommend a visit to the nearby Batavia shipyard where historical wooden ships are reproduced. At the port of Lelystad, the almost 30 km long bank towards Enkhuizen begins behind the lock. When everything was still a North Sea bay in the past, the heavily loaded ships sailed from here with their treasures from Asia and brought wealth to the cities.

Welcome to the canal city. Water has always shaped life in Amsterdam. Since its foundation around 700 years ago, people have come from all over the world to settle here. Over time, the city became a melting pot of cultures. The Amsterdam canal belt with its countless colorful houseboats is part of the Unesco World Heritage Amsterdam, Holland's secret capital, Venice of the north, red light district and bicycle metropolis, a city where you have to stay once in your life.

IJmuiden is a major seaport in the Netherlands. The city owes its foundation and its name (mouth) to the construction of the North Sea Canal, which connects the city and the port of Amsterdam directly with the North Sea. Coming from Amsterdam at the end of the North Sea Canal, IJmuiden is an important junction in shipping and is often referred to as the offshore terminal of Amsterdam. IJmuiden is also Holland's largest fishing port. Early in the morning, fish auctions in the action halls offer the opportunity to experience Holland off the beaten track. Getting up early is rewarded with the view of the beautiful lighthouse in the morning light. Other sights of IJmuiden are the four locks, of which the Noordersluis, with a length of 400 m, is the largest in Europe.

Texel is the largest of the five Frisian islands in the Wadden Sea. It is 15 km long and 9 km wide. The flat island scores with its seemingly endless sandy beaches on the west coast. The lovely small towns and nature reserves as well as the seals sanctuary can be explored by bike. Typical for the island are the thatched, listed “Gulf houses” that serve as sheep stables.

Hindeloopen

Hindeloopen was once one of the wealthiest port cities in Friesland and has a long maritime tradition. With its old cobblestone streets, it is considered one of the most beautiful small towns in Europe. Life runs a bit slower here and you feel like you are in a picturesque village from a fairy tale book.

Stavoren is the oldest city in Friesland. The Hanseatic city is one of the largest leisure harbors. The name Stavoren is closely related to the type of ship “Staverse Jol”, which was once used for fishing by the Anchovies. Today, this form of ship, with an onion-shaped bow, long keel with little draft, is still used on robust steel cruisers.

In Enkhuizen at the harbor, old merchant and warehouse buildings provide a picturesque backdrop. Enkhuizen was in the 17th century, in the "Golden Century", the richest and most powerful city on the Zuiderzee and is the most beautifully preserved old town on the IJsselmeer. The Zuiderzee Museum in the old packing house is interesting. It provides  an almost complete insight into the history of the Zuiderzee, the fight against the water, shipping, shipbuilding, fishing, art and commerce.

Yacht Charter Netherlands - Sailing in the Netherlands

A lot has happened on the land, and beautiful big lakes were made from the wild sea.

If anyone in western central Europe really well and truly knows the North Sea , its ‘moods’ and its coasts as well as its waves and deluges, it is no doubt the Dutch. They have been mastering the sea for the last many centuries to the point where they know it inside and out, even having wrested land out of the its grasp. Intrepid seaman have researched and detailed its nuances in their cartography, and the daring courage of the Dutch paired with their love of discovery led them to their own colonial empire, to which today Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Saba, Sint Eustatius , and Sint Maarten still belong and are “special municipalities” or autonomous parts of the Kingdom of the Netherlands . At home, however, the subtle and technically perfect dikes, dams, polders, and salt marshes of the countrywide Zuiderzeewerk system – especially important around the Ijsselmeer in Flevoland and in Kroon (Wering Sea) in the province North Holland – are the benchmark of the effective domestic landscape architecture that has made the country what it is.

How do you make the most of the sea? What all you can do with Water:

Huge areas have been reclaimed through drainage and made possible to settle on. Originally the draining was planned for a different province, more specifically for a polder with the proposed name “Markerwaard” where today the Marker Sea exists, in order to protect Amsterdam against possible heavy storm tides. Instead, it was limited due to the costs, in order to keep the sea and the local recreation areas in tact, and to protect the “Houtribdijk”/”Markerwaarddijk” dam between Lelystad and Enkhuizen. This now serves as a major road connection between North Holland, Flevoland and Glederland. Water is highly respected in the Netherlands, but not feared. Instead, the Dutch use it in ways that strategically, wisely, and safely, in terms of protection, benefit them in the long run. They also go for using it to gain profit, if it so allows. Above all, people like to find fun in the wet element, and do so by fishing, swimming, wading, paddling, sailing , and surfing. Boats are in many areas more important for transport than cars, and yacht charters are available almost everywhere. Living on a houseboat in the Netherlands is less a sign of hard times in some cities and towns than in other countries, but rather a completely normal and widespread way of living.

Nature, Nautics, and Navigation next to and around the North Sea in neighboring countries

Canals of Captains, with Kings, Queens and Princesses right next door

The Veluwemeer south of Flevoland is a popular relaxation and vacation area in large part because of the recreational boating tours, especially to the Ijsselmeer. In addition, many of the more than 60 countrywide canals are open for leisure vehicles and sport boats to use. Some such canals include the Ems Canal between Groningen and Delfzijl, the Gent-Terneuzen Canal, the canal through Zuid-Beveland between Westerschelde and Oosterschelde, the Noordhollandsch Kanaal from Amsterdam to Den Helder, the North Sea Canal from the North Sea to the Ijsselmeer and the berths at Wohnbooten and the very popular Ringvaart des Haarlemmersmeerpolders. Find a route sggestion for the Ijsselmeer here. The Prinses-Margriet-Kanal from Lemmer to Groningen, the Schelde-Rhine Canal as a connection to Antwerp along with the Rhine-Maas Deltas, the Wilhelmina Canal in the Nordbrabant province, the Zuid-Willemsvaart canal as a connection from Maastricht and ‘s-Hertogenbosch and the Twentekanal between Zuphten and Amelo are popular waterways among house- and motorboat travelers. Through the Haren-Rütenbrock-Kanal and the Ems-Vecht-Kanal in western Lower Saxony in Germany, in the districts Grafschaft Bentheim and Emsland, there is also a direct connection to the Dutch canals.

The lakes and canals in the Netherlands are connected to each other, and also often with the always-close-by North Sea , whose 450-kilometer-long coast has nearly three-dozen venerable seaside resorts that practically line the shores. The largest of the resort towns is the Scheveningen district of Den Haag (the Hague), with the area of large dunes called Uilenbosch. Also well known and especially popular in the summer are Bergen aan Zee in Alkmaar, the port town Breskens in Zeeland with its marina, Cadzand-Bad on the border to Belgium and with its five-kilometer-long beach, and Callantsoog, which is the oldest nude beach in the Netherlands and has the highest sand dune in North Holland. De Koog on Texel is effectively the tourist center of the island, Westkapelle in Zeeland offers its fishing waters called Kreek, and Zandvoort in North Holland boasts its many restaurants, bars, and accommodations. Katwijk near Leiden on Prins Hendrikkanaal in South Holland is loved by tourists, especially German ones, and is a lively vacation town. Julianadorp is a part of Den Helder and is loved especially for its direct access to the waterways of North Holland. People have been going to swim in the waters of the seaside resort Domburg on the Walcheren peninsula in Zeeland since the early 19th century, as they have at the third largest resort in the Netherlands, Noordwijk. Renesse and Westerschowen are part of the Schouwen-Duiveland municipality in Zeeland. They are located on the sea, and are very popular for vacations and weekends away. Ouddorp and Vrouwenpolder, both on the island Goeree-Overflakkee, are popular surfing spots, and Zoutelande and Dishoek belong to the so-called Zeeland Riviera. In addition, Vlissingen is a hub of maritime transport, and also has a large marina.

By Sea, Lake or Canal: with a boat from YACHTICO in the Netherlands, everything will go perfectly

Over 130 yachts and boats of various models and build years are available in the Netherlands to book with YACHTICO.com , the new platform for international boat charters. Prices per week start at about 250 euro and go up to around 4000 euro, but the majority of the boats are available for 1000 to 2000 euro for the same amount of time.

The weather on the Ijsselmeer is similar to that of the North Sea. However, the wind here is somewhat weaker. In strong wind the Ijsselmeer can be dangerous due to a low water depth of about 4m, thus allowing for fast short waves build up. Usually winds from the west or south-westerly direction prevail. The strongest wind is commonly found in the region of Makkum. Also, it can quickly lead to very dense fog which significantly limits the view.

The lovely port city of Rotterdam is not just an interesting place for companies who want to import or export their goods, it is also a vibrant city filled with brilliant young minds who create start ups and plenty of amazing cafes and restaurants. If you get sick of sailing in the Netherlands, you can always do as the Dutch and rent a bike for a day to explore the Netherlands from a different perspective.

Beaches in the Netherlands

• Zandvoort : As one of the most beautiful, extensive and popular beaches in the Netherlands, this beach attracts tourists and locals alike on a sunny day. So be prepared to share the beach with plenty of people. One thing that makes it popular is the easy access to the sea, making it also very family-friendly

Explore the historical Netherlands

Most people who travel to the Netherlands are not just interested in getting high in one of the coffee shops, they also want to explore the rich history of this country. After all, it is the land of Van Gogh, Vermeer and other famous painters. You can even walk along the streets of Amsterdam or Utrecht to view the fascinating history first hand. The beautiful houses that still stand tall along the canals have been built during a time when the Netherlands became a big trading nation. Many houses still have a hook attached to their roofs in order to move furniture in and out of the buildings as you simply wouldn’t be able to carry your furniture down the narrow stairs.

Sailing conditions in the Netherlands

Sailing in the Netherlands on the North Sea requires a bit more attention compared to sailing destinations in the Mediterranean. Depths are sometimes shallow at the shorelines of the islands, so approaching is recommended for more experienced sailors. If you need help to navigate, you can always book a skipper through Zizoo together with your saliling holiday.

The larger islands have mooring buoys, so anchoring is usually not a concern. The waters can be quite rough out at sea, with waves reaching up to 1.5 metres and winds up to 20 knots at times, but usually they are lower and not as strong.

Sailing holidays in the Netherlands are best in summer when you get the warmest weather and the calmest waters. You can expect summer air temperatures approaching 30°C and water temperatures in the middle of summer at about 18°C.

Commercial traffic is fairly busy around the German Frisians, especially towards the German Bight. Stay extra cautious around the Osterams, east of Borkum, with shallow waters and occasional strong north-westerly winds. They can be very strong and unpredictable once they pick up! Sailing the Frisians is definitely an exciting experience - whether you want to take the lead or sit back and relax on a crewed boat in the Netherlands .

How much does it cost to rent a boat in the Netherlands?

Renting a boat in the Netherlands is also great for those travelling on a bit of a budget. Of course prices can vary according to the type of boat, the season and the amount of bedrooms available on board, but they are generally more affordable than in other destinations. You can rent a houseboat for just 630 EUR for a week.

What type of boat is best for sailing in the Netherlands?

One of the most popular boats you can rent in the Netherlands is a canal boat that takes you around the cities and allows you to discover the canals connecting the different parts of the Netherlands with one another.

Rent a houseboat in the Netherlands

Pros of renting a houseboat in the Netherlands

A houseboat rental in the Netherlands is perfect for anyone who wants to drive around the canals and feel like a local for a week. There are many Dutch people who live on a houseboat full time, so you will fit right in.

A houseboat charter in the Netherlands is a great choice for those who are travelling on a budget. In many locations in the Netherlands you can rent a houseboat for a week for just 630 EUR. This is extremely affordable and makes it particularly great for those travelling with kids.

Rent a canal boat in the Netherlands if you want to feel like you’re staying in a home away from home. These boats are equipped with everything you need and are basically tiny houses on the water. You really don’t have to miss out on any comforts when it comes to vacationing on a boat in the Netherlands .

Many houseboat charters in the Netherlands allow you to bring your pets on board so that you don’t have to leave them at home or leave them in a shelter for a week. That way you get to create beautiful holiday memories with your pets as well.

Cons of renting a houseboat in the Netherlands

One of the downsides of a houseboat rental in the Netherlands can be the fact that they are rather bulky and therefore more difficult to navigate. As long as there is no traffic or obstacle that you need to avoid you are probably fine, but as soon as you have to go out of your way to operate a houseboat, you might be in trouble.

Rent a sailboat in the Netherlands

Pros of renting a sailboat in the Netherlands

A sailboat charter in the Netherlands is the right choice for anyone who cares about the environment. As sailboats are solely fueled by wind, you won’t create any CO2-emissions that are further going to harm the environment.

A sailboat rental in the Netherlands is one of the most affordable options when it comes to a boat holiday here. As you don’t need to refuel your boat in order to make it move, you won’t need to spend extra money on that. The wind is what you get for free!

Cons of renting a sailboat in the the Netherlands

One of the downsides of a sailboat rental in the Netherlands is equally an advantage: The fact that sailboats are completely and utterly dependent on mother nature. When the wind suddenly stops blowing, you might get stuck in the middle of the sea. However, the winds on the Dutch coast are generally quite strong, so you might face this difficulty rather seldomly compared to other destinations.

Sailboat charter in the Netherlands

Rent a motorboat in the Netherlands

Pros of renting a motorboat in the Netherlands

A motorboat rental in the Netherlands is a great choice for anyone who wants to explore the Frisian islands or just sail along the Dutch coast on a hunt for the most beautiful beaches. Motorboats have a shallow draft, making them a perfect partner in crime to do so.

A motorboat charter in the Netherlands is also a great choice for those who have plenty of to do’s on their bucket list. Motorboats are generally faster than other types of boats and give you more opportunities to discover what this tiny country has to offer.

Cons of renting a motorboat in the Netherlands

One of the downsides of a motorboat rental in the Netherlands is the fact that motorboats are solely fueled by petrol. This makes them one of the most expensive and least environmentally friendly choices.

Another downside of renting a motorboat in the Netherlands is the fact that the engine can be quite noisy. This can not only disturb you or the conversations you’re trying to have on board, but also the local wildlife. There are some protected national parks where it might be prohibited to pass through with a motorboat during specific times of the year.

Motorboat rental in the Netherlands

Luxury boat holidays in the Netherlands

The Netherlands are not necessarily known for their luxury lifestyle, but you can definitely find it. Charter a private luxury yacht in the Netherlands to enjoy the sweeter things in life. All luxury yachts are generally equipped with a full kitchen and extra kitchen utensils you might need in order to store and prepare your own meals while on board your boat. Many luxury yacht rentals in the Netherlands further include some equipment such as jet skis or a jacuzzi to make for an extra fun sailing adventure in the Netherlands .

What kind of boat licence do you need when renting a boat in the Netherlands?

Anyone who wants to drive a motorboat in the Netherlands that goes faster than 20 km/h and longer than 20 metres needs to be in possession of a valid boat licence or a so-called Small Licence . The same goes for other type of boats that are between 15 and 25 metres long. You can also take a test in the Netherlands to get this certification.

If you want to operate a bigger boat that is between 25 and 40 metres long, you need to carry a so-called Pleasure Boat Licence in the Netherlands.

If you are unsure about the certification you would need, you can always carry the International Certificate of Competency or short ICC . If you are neither in possession of a valid boat licence, nor plan on obtaining one in the near future, you can always hire a skipper or captain in addition to your bareboat charter .

Sailing routes in the Netherlands

Beginning your sailing holiday in the Netherlands from Amsterdam, you can head up the scenic coastline of the Markermeer and IJsselmeer lakes. Lemmer is an excellent starting location for a boat holiday on the Ijsselmeer. You can continue north up to Den Helder, which offers excellent mooring and boat service facilities.

There are a number of uninhabited islands offshore from Den Helder including Noorderhaaks, Richel and Griend. The best places for mooring overnight are usually off the mainland in marinas such as Breskens or Delfzijl. It’s therefore a good idea to moor temporarily for day trips on the islands and then head back to the mainland overnight during your boat trip.

Sailing in the area allows you to see the vast array of islands, each with its own distinct personality. You can stick to the Dutch Waddens or explore the islands further along the chain, across the German Frisians and to the Danish Waddens. Rømø Island has a stunning national park (Denmark’s largest) or stop at Cuxhaven in Germany and visit its scenic seaside resort. Sailing holidays in the Netherlands will allow you to explore parts of the country only accessible by boat, and too often overlooked by those who stick to land-based accommodation.

What we know about the container ship that crashed into the Baltimore bridge

• The ship that crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge on Tuesday was the Singapore-flagged Dali.
• The container ship had been chartered by Maersk, the Danish shipping company. 
• Two people were recovered from the water but six remain missing, authorities said.

A container ship crashed into a major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, causing its collapse into the Patapsco River.

A livestream showed vehicles traveling on the Francis Scott Key Bridge just moments before the impact at 1:28 a.m. ET.

Baltimore first responders called the situation a "developing mass casualty event" and a "dire emergency," per The Associated Press.

James Wallace, chief of the Baltimore Fire Department, said in a press conference that two people had been recovered from the water.

One was uninjured, but the other was transported to a local trauma center in a "very serious condition."

Wallace said up to 20 people were thought to have fallen into the river and some six people were still missing.

Richard Worley, Baltimore's police chief, said there was "no indication" the collision was purposeful or an act of terrorism.

Wes Moore, the governor of Maryland, declared a state of emergency around 6 a.m. ET. He said his office was in close communication with Pete Buttigieg, the transportation secretary.

"We are working with an interagency team to quickly deploy federal resources from the Biden Administration," Moore added.

Understanding why the bridge collapsed could have implications for safety, in both the shipping and civil engineering sectors.

The container ship is the Singapore-flagged Dali, which is about 984 feet long, and 157 feet wide, per a listing on VesselFinder.

An unclassified Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency report said that the ship "lost propulsion" as it was leaving port, ABC News reported.

The crew notified officials that they had lost control and warned of a possible collision, the report said, per the outlet.

The Dali's owner is listed as Grace Ocean, a Singapore-based firm, and its manager is listed as Synergy Marine, which is also headquartered in Singapore.

Shipping news outlet TradeWinds reported that Grace Ocean confirmed the Dali was involved in the collapse, but is still determining what caused the crash.

Related stories

Staff for Grace Ocean declined to comment on the collision when contacted by Business Insider.

"All crew members, including the two pilots have been accounted for and there are no reports of any injuries. There has also been no pollution," Synergy Marine said in a statement.

The company did not respond to a request for further comment from BI.

'Horrified'

Maersk chartered the Dali, with a schedule for the ship on its website.

"We are horrified by what has happened in Baltimore, and our thoughts are with all of those affected," the Danish shipping company said in a statement.

Maersk added: "We are closely following the investigations conducted by authorities and Synergy, and we will do our utmost to keep our customers informed."

Per ship tracking data, the Dali left Baltimore on its way to Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, at around 1 a.m., about half an hour before the crash.

The Port of Baltimore is thought to be the largest in the US for roll-on/roll-off ships carrying trucks and trailers.

Barbara Rossi, associate professor of engineering science at the University of Oxford, told BI the force of the impact on one of the bridge's supporting structures "must have been immense" to lead to the collapse.

Dr Salvatore Mercogliano, a shipping analyst and maritime historian at Campbell University, told BI: "It appears Dali left the channel while outbound. She would have been under the control of the ship's master with a Chesapeake Bay pilot onboard to advise the master.

"The deviation out of the channel is probably due to a mechanical issue as the ship had just departed the port, but you cannot rule out human error as that was the cause of the Ever Forward in 2022 just outside of Baltimore."

He was referring to the incident two years ago when the container ship became grounded for a month in Chesapeake Bay after loading up cargo at the Port of Baltimore.

The US Coast Guard found the incident was caused by pilot error, cellphone use, and "inadequate bridge resource management."

Claudia Norrgren, from the maritime research firm Veson Nautical, told BI: "The industry bodies who are here to protect against incidents like this, such as the vessel's flag state, classification society, and regulatory bodies, will step in and conduct a formal investigation into the incident. Until then, it'll be very hard for anyone to truly know what happened on board."

This may not have been the first time the Dali hit a structure.

In 2016, maritime blogs such as Shipwreck Log and ship-tracking site VesselFinder posted videos of what appears to be the stern of the same, blue-hulled container vessel scraping against a quay in Antwerp.

A representative for the Port of Antwerp told BI the Dali did collide with a quay there eight years ago but couldn't "give any information about the cause of the accident."

The Dali is listed as being built in 2015 by Hyundai Heavy Industries in South Korea.
