Table explanation


This table contains the number of passengers (excluding crew members) arriving by ferry on the Caribbean Netherlands islands of Saba and Sint Eustatius. For Saba, it concerns ferries arriving from Sint Maarten and Sint Eustatius, while for Sint Eustatius, the figures cover ferries from Sint Maarten, Saba, and Sint Kitts.

The figures published here are entirely based on available registers, i.e. the accuracy of these figures depends on the quality of the registers and Statistics Netherlands has conducted numerous plausibility checks on these registers, for example by establishing mutual links among these registers.

This table is the successor to the discontinued table 'Caribbean Netherlands, Saba; ferry passengers, 2014-3rd quarter 2025' (see paragraph 3). The new table now also includes figures for Sint Eustatius from 2022 onwards.

Data available from: 2022

Status of the figures:
The figures from 2022 are provisional.

Changes as of April 3, 2026:
None, this is a new table.

When will new figures be published?
The monthly figures are published on a quarterly basis, within three months after the end of the respective quarter.
