Passenger ship becomes reception center for refugees
The 'Patria' will serve as a reception center for refugees in the near future. The first guests boarded the vessel in the morning of April 5, 2022. This ship has been moored at the Buitenhaven Way in Schiedam since April 3 for those fleeing war in their country. They will stay for three to six months, possibly even longer. The Patria has room for about 70 people. The municipality is therefore already investigating the possibilities of a longer stay. In recent weeks, refugees have already been received in a hotel and a B&B in Schiedam until the 'Patria' came. The Rotterdam-Rijnmond region receives two thousand refugees. Rotterdam is responsible for half of this.
