MARINE NOTICE

No. 77 of 2023

Shannon Navigation

South of Athlone

Long Island

Temporary Green markers on East side of the island

Waterways Ireland wishes to advise Masters of Vessels and users of the Shannon Navigation that 2 additional temporary green markers have been placed on the East side of Long Island to prevent boating traffic veering off the main navigation channel. High water levels have made the navigation channel unclear.

Masters of Vessels are requested to proceed with additional caution in the area as high-water levels and fast flows continue to exist.

Waterways Ireland thanks its customers for their cooperation in relation to this matter.
