MARINE NOTICE, No.69 of 2014

All Navigations

Danger to Swimmers

Waterways Ireland wishes to advise masters, owners and all other users of the navigations that it is prohibited to swim in the vicinity of harbours, quays, jetties and within 200m of locks, weirs, bridges and other navigation infrastructure because of the dangers associated with vessels manoeuvring. Also, a fast current is to be expected adjacent to locks, weirs and bridges which will pose a danger to swimmers.

Masters should keep a sharp look-out for swimmers in the water especially on the approaches to harbours and to manoeuvre their vessel accordingly.

Charles Lawn, Inspector of Navigation, 18 Jun 2014

Rowing Craft, Danger from Vessel Wash

Waterways Ireland wishes to advise masters and owners of vessels of the inherent dangers posed by the wash of larger vessels on craft such as rowing craft and small open boats.
The very low freeboard, particularly of rowing craft, makes them susceptible to being swamped and capsized by a large wash.
Masters should be on the look-out for such vessel when navigating and reduce their vessel’s wash well in advance of passing these craft and be mindful of any requests from safety boats accompanying rowers.

Waterways Ireland thanks its customers for their cooperation in this matter.

Waterways Ireland wishes to advise masters and owners that access ramps to floating jetties will be removed or lifted as necessary, as water levels rise, to prevent structural damage to the jetties.
Access to the jetties will be restricted while these conditions pertain.
