This association was founded on 30 March 1982, to support and promote ferries for foot-passengers and cyclists in The Netherlands; to put the discontinued ones into service again and to initiate new ferries. Through the ages hundreds of ferries were the shortest, direct connections across rivers, canals and lakes in the watery Netherlands. In the nineteen-sixties, the fast growth of motor-traffic and the building of bridges caused the disappearance of many of them. But the ferries give you a fast and ecologically sound way to travel to school or work without making a detour. Many of them are a link in networks of walking and cycle routes. At the moment there are more than 160 ferries in The Netherlands! The association has been successful in all of its goals during the last 25 years: the number of small ferries has tripled!
