Original 7 May 2026, 2:57pm

Please be advised that New Marton Lock 2 is currently experiencing operational issues. A leak developed, and one of the top paddles is running very slowly. While the lock remains operational, passage through the lock will take longer than usual.

Our reactive team is scheduled to attend on Monday morning (11 May) to carry out the necessary repairs and improve operation.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience while we work to resolve the issue.
