We wanted to update you on the planned stoppage. Due to the current high water levels, our teams have been unable to begin works on site as scheduled, so the navigation will remain open for the time being. The stoppage has now been rescheduled and will run from 16 February to 20 February. We will keep you informed of any further changes and appreciate your patience while we work to resume activities safely.
