Haarlem is an inland node on the Standing Mast Route along the River Spaarne: ten bridges with convoyed passages (VHF 18), a link to the North Sea Canal via Spaarndam; waters are essentially tideless, speed limit 6 km/h, and a flat bridge toll (bruggengeld) applies.
Haarlem sits on the Spaarne along the Standing Mast Route between the North Sea Canal (via Zijkanaal C and Spaarndam) and the Kaag/Ringvaart waters.
Through the city you pass ten bridges; transit typically takes about 1–1.5 hours in convoy, depending on the railway bridge and traffic. Bridge openings are coordinated by the Harbour Service on VHF 18, with daytime/evening windows and “Blue Wave” convoys aligned with A9/A44 crossings.
Waters are non-tidal; the local speed limit is 6 km/h.
A flat bridge toll (bruggengeld) is charged per transit, payable also via AanUit.net. At the northern exit, Spaarndam’s historic Kolksluis is Europe’s oldest working lock (13th century).
Municipal visitor quays line the Spaarne (stay up to 21 days per 3 months).
