“Competitor or not, in shipping you always help each other,” says Van den Broek. “We asked how far the port service was and it would be on the road for a while, so then we decided to offer our help.” Due to the strong wind, that was not easy, but in the end it was possible to indicate a rope and pull the pancake boat away.
MS De Jordaan is a ship that performs music traps (often with bitterballen). That was also the case this afternoon. The music even remained on during the help of the pancake boat. “The party inside just went on,” says Van den Broek.
