Vessel Draft 

At present there's a boat draft restriction on. We can only accommodate boat with a fresh water draft of 2m and below.  

Single Lock-ins 

Single lock-ins are not water-efficient and we will attempt to group boats together. This may cause delays, please plan accordingly. Where a single craft splits from a group, that vessel may also be held for a period to join other boats in the next lock-in. 

We will try not to cause undue delay and hope that your co-operation will help us maintain service throughout summer 2025.
