Facts and practical information

The Noord-Hinder is the last lightship built in the Netherlands. The ship was built in 1963 at shipyard De Waal in Zaltbommel and thoroughly rebuilt and fully automated in 1981 by shipyard Hoogenraad en Kuyt in Scheveningen. On March 21, 1994, this last Dutch lightship was finally taken out of the sea and is now a museum ship in Hellevoetsluis.

The Noord-Hinder is 45.4 meters long and 8.35 meters wide. It has a draft of 3.2 meters and a displacement of 510 tons. The ship was equipped with several small diesel engines. The light had a range of 27 nautical miles and was 18 meters above sea level. The light from the 4200 watt lamp was amplified by a fresnel lens and gave 2 glares every 10 seconds. It was further equipped with a radar beacon and foghorn.
