Noodopvang Krimpen Aan Den Ijssel (Haven)
A hotel ship in the Sliksloothaven has housed asylum seekers for the COA since September 2022. In autumn 2024 the municipality agreed the vessel could remain for a further two years, through 2026, accommodating up to 150 people. From 2025 the COA stopped placing under-18s on board, deeming children on the water too vulnerable, so only adults and families with adult children remain.

Timeline
Sep 2022
Asylum ship first moored in Sliksloothaven
COA began using a hotel ship in Krimpen aan den IJssel for emergency reception.
Jan 2025
Ship extended into 2025-2026; no more minors aboard
Municipality allowed the vessel to stay two more years for up to 150 people; under-18s no longer placed on board.
Cost
Dutch asylum reception is funded by central government through the COA. At an illustrative benchmark of about €184 per person per night for emergency reception (noodopvang), the 148 people recorded here on 13 August 2025 imply roughly €9.9m per year. This is an order-of-magnitude figure for context only, not a site-specific invoice — emergency reception typically runs around three times the cost of a regular centre.
