Maeslantkering 2019 – Swan brigade slips through the almost closed barrier

Maeslantkering 2019 – Swan brigade slips through the almost closed barrier
The Maeslantkering is a storm surge barrier built between 1991 and 1997. It protects Rotterdam and other low-lying lands when the water is high. It also blocks the access to Rotterdam Harbour, so the important shipping is blocked. The barrier has to be tested from time to time, it is done on a Sunday to minimise the disruption.

Beautiful moment, Michiel, with the barrier doors providing framing and beautiful light on the grounds and the harbour, while the nine swans get through just in time!
