Marine Notice, No. 86 of 2025,Update

Shannon Navigation & Lough Allen

Issued: 26 September 2025

Drumshanbo Lock – Reopening Thursday 2 October 2025

Waterways Ireland wishes to inform masters of Vessels and Waterway Users that Drumshanbo Lock, the Service Block, and the downstream waiting jetty will reopen on Thursday, 2 October 2025.
The extended closure was required to replace the pumping system within the main lock. Full access to the lock chamber was necessary, during which additional maintenance and a complete clean-out of the chamber were carried out.
We recognise that this extended closure has impacted those seeking access to Lough Allen. However, the timing of the project was driven by essential planning factors, and the works will deliver a significant upgrade to the lock’s pump system, improving overall operational reliability.
Waterways Ireland regrets any inconvenience caused and thanks all customers for their patience and cooperation during these works.

Drumshanbo-Schleuse – Wiedereröffnung am Donnerstag, 2. Oktober 2025
Waterways Ireland möchte Schiffskapitäne und Wasserstraßennutzer darüber informieren, dass die Drumshanbo-Schleuse, der Serviceblock und der stromabwärts gelegene Warteanleger am Donnerstag, dem 2. Oktober 2025, wiedereröffnet werden.
Die verlängerte Schließung war erforderlich, um das Pumpsystem innerhalb der Hauptschleuse zu ersetzen. Der vollständige Zugang zur Schleusenkammer war notwendig, währenddessen zusätzliche Wartungsarbeiten und eine vollständige Reinigung der Kammer durchgeführt wurden.
Wir sind uns bewusst, dass diese verlängerte Schließung Auswirkungen auf diejenigen hatte, die Zugang zum Lough Allen suchen. Der Zeitpunkt des Projekts wurde jedoch durch wesentliche Planungsfaktoren bestimmt, und die Arbeiten werden zu einer erheblichen Verbesserung des Pumpensystems der Schleuse führen und damit die allgemeine Betriebssicherheit erhöhen.
Waterways Ireland bedauert die entstandenen Unannehmlichkeiten und dankt allen Kunden für ihre Geduld und Zusammenarbeit während dieser Arbeiten.
