NOTICE TO MARINERS No: 14 of 2009
Vessel Width Restriction for Mutford Lock
With immediate effect the Mutford Lock is restricted to vessels with a beam of no greater than 2.75 metres (approximately 9 feet) as a result of a broken lock gate mechanism. Engineering investigation is under way but there is currently no time estimate for the lock to return to a fully operational status. Seasonal opening times and booking procedures remain in force.
Vessel Masters should ensure that they exercise extreme caution when approaching, entering, and leaving the Lock and observe any Lock-Keepers instruction.
