On Wednesday, September 3, 2025, the Maritime Cluster—a partnership between the Province of North Holland, the Municipality of Den Helder, and the Ministry of Defense—received a statement of views from the Boatex residents’ collective. This statement expresses concerns regarding the plan to construct a Ravelijn Bridge. We appreciate this feedback and take these concerns seriously. We are providing this initial response in advance of a more detailed reply.
The Importance of Participation
We place great value on participation. Especially in a complex area development project such as the Maritime Cluster, it is important that residents, business owners, and other stakeholders be able to actively contribute their ideas. Public support, local knowledge, and engagement are essential for a thorough process and sound decision-making.
