Waterways Ireland advises masters of vessels that a temporary restriction to navigation will be in place at Shannon Harbour from 27 April to 1 May 2026.
This restriction is necessary to facilitate ongoing bank works. A silt curtain will be installed at either end of the new jetty to contain disturbed material during the works.
Masters requiring passage through the area are requested to liaise with the on-site contractors and the local Lock Keeper in advance. When vessels need to pass, the silt curtains can be temporarily drawn back to the bank and reinstated once passage is complete.
Water levels in the area remain lowered; however, navigation is not currently impeded.
Waterways Ireland regrets any inconvenience caused and thanks all waterway users for their cooperation.
