Crinan Canal - Service Alterations

Vessel Draft 

From Saturday 3rd August 2024 we will be restricting the draft for vessels to 2.2m (fresh water). 

48 hours’ notice is required for vessels with a draft of 2.2m or greater. 

Vessels with a draft of more than 2.4m will be accommodated Friday and Saturday only, and by prior notification with the local operations team. 

Single Lockings 

Please note that we will hold single vessels to make effective use of the lock. Where a single craft “splits” from a group that vessel may also be held for a period to join another locking. 

We will endeavour not to cause undue delay and hope that your co-operation will help us maintain levels of service throughout the summer period.
