Overnachtingshaven Haaften

Overnachtingshaven Haaften is a dedicated overnight harbor for inland shipping (binnenvaart) located on the Waal near the village of Haaften, in the Dutch municipality of West Betuwe.

Opened in 1985, it was the first official overnight harbor of its kind in the Netherlands. The 24-hectare harbor was originally intended as an industrial port for the Kerkewaard but, due to lack of demand, has been used almost exclusively as an overnight stop.

The harbor is equipped with four floating jetties and a facilities jetty, each connected to the shore by walkways, with a paved road leading toward the dijk near Haaften. It has a capacity of approximately 25 vessels.

The surrounding area also serves as an overnight parking area for trucks. Vessels are permitted to stay for a maximum of three consecutive 24-hour periods.
