Update 4 July 2025 4:15 pm

Our Engineering team continue to plan these essential repairs and obtain the parts needed to do this.   We expect that it will be another 2-4 weeks before repairs are complete and navigation can resume.   Further update will be given on or before 18 July 2025. 

Update 20 June 2025 2:23 pm

Our engineers have inspected and assessed the condition of the lock mechanism and have concluded that works are needed to ensure it can be safely operated.

The planning and mobilisation for these works is underway and we anticipate that these works will take between 4 and 6 weeks to complete.

We will update this notice on the 4th July with a progress update.

Original 17 June 2025 5:12 pm

Because of safety concerns we are having to suspend use of this lock whilst our engineers carry out an in-depth inspection and assessment of the lock mechanism. We apologise for the inconvenience this causes but we need to ensure that it can be safely operated. We will update this notice by 2pm on Friday.
