July 15, 2004

Mariners are reminded that, as per Seaway Notices No.’s 2, 8 and 10 of 2004, for vessels loaded to a draft greater than 80.0 dm (26′-3”), speeds will be monitored carefully in the South Shore Canal and between the upper entrance to Lock 7 and former Bridge 12 of the Welland Canal effective on July 15^th, 2004. This monitoring is being implemented in order to minimize bank erosion in these areas and to reduce vessel squat.
