Dit jaar gaat die eer naar een rondvaartboot van Lovers die op Goede Vrijdag kort voor 10 uur arriveerde. Hij paste er maar net in. Het bootje achter hem moest een schutting wachten&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/hondsbosschesluiszaandam.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01d0d982-6d7b-44cd-895e-bcc152a0f5db-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hondsbosschesluiszaandam.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01d0d982-6d7b-44cd-895e-bcc152a0f5db-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/hondsbosschesluiszaandam.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01d0d982-6d7b-44cd-895e-bcc152a0f5db-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/hondsbosschesluiszaandam.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01d0d982-6d7b-44cd-895e-bcc152a0f5db-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/hondsbosschesluiszaandam.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01d0d982-6d7b-44cd-895e-bcc152a0f5db-9x12.jpeg 9w, https:\/\/hondsbosschesluiszaandam.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01d0d982-6d7b-44cd-895e-bcc152a0f5db.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-small-font-size\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-small-font-size\">In 2025 zijn er 8122 schepen door de sluis gevaren. Dat is ongeveer evenveel als 2024, ondanks het hoge aantal doorgelaten schepen in de dagen van Sail2025: 1542. Op de openingsdag van Sail, 20 augustus 2025, werd een absoluut recordaantal schepen doorgelaten: 379. In het vaarseizoen van 2025 is de sluis slechts 41 dagdelen gesloten geweest omdat het gemaal water moest afvoeren uit Noord-Holland. Maar er waren dit jaar ook andere redenen dat de sluis niet open kon. Door schade aan de sluisdeur zijn we van 9 t\/m 13 augustus 2025 (10 dagdelen) dicht geweest. En op 1 en 2 juli was het zo warm dat schutten voor de sluiswachters onverantwoord was. Al met al hebben waren we 83% van de 330 beschikbare dagdelen open voor doorvaart (in 2024: 66%).
