GRAND, ROYAL AND BARROW NAVIGATIONS

MOORING OF VESSELS

Waterways Ireland wishes to advise all Masters of vessels and water users that vessels should not be moored alongside other vessels or boats except where there remains sufficient space for navigating vessels to pass safely.
Owners of vessels should only moor to canal bank. Vessels found to be obstructing safe passage may be moved by Waterways Ireland staff as operationally convenient.
Waterways Ireland thanks all vessel owners and operators for their co-operation in relation to this matter.

Festmachen von Booten
Waterways Ireland möchte alle Kapitäne von Schiffen und Schiffsbesitzern darauf hinweisen, dass Schiffe nicht neben anderen Schiffen oder Booten festgemacht werden sollten, es sei denn, es bleibt genügend Platz für die Schifffahrt, um sicher zu fahren.
Schiffseigentümer sollten nur am Kanalufer anlegen. Schiffe, bei denen festgestellt wird, dass sie die sichere Durchfahrt behindern, können von Mitarbeitern von Waterways Ireland so bewegt werden, wie es für den Betrieb praktisch ist.

MARINE NOTICE, No126 of 2015

Erne System

Waterways Ireland has been advised by Rivers Agency that from 1st October, in keeping with water level management protocols, users of the Erne System can expect reducing water levels throughout the navigation as water levels on Lower Lough Erne are lowered, weather permitting, to a minimum of 149 feet (Above Poolbeg Ordnance Datum), in anticipation of increased precipitation during Autumn & Winter.

If water levels do fall masters should be aware of:

Navigation

To reduce the risk of grounding masters should navigate on or near the centreline of the channel, avoid short cutting in dog-legged channels and navigating too close to navigation markers.

Mooring of Vessels

Masters should be aware that water levels may change rapidly and that mooring lines will require adjustment therefore theese should be checked regularly.
