Along with skipper Rens Hendrikse: 'On the ferry, water, city, and people come together'

The ferry goes across the IJ in Amsterdam. Many people use the ferry every day to get to the other side of the water. The ferry is very important for the city.

Skipper Rens Hendrikse drives the ferry. He likes his job because he has contact with people and is always on the water. Rens says that the ferry, the water, and the city come together at his workplace.

Now the GVB (municipal public transport company) is looking for new skippers. There are not enough people who want to do this job. The GVB would like to find experienced skippers.

That is why they talk about the special work of skippers like Rens.
