Adjustment of draft restriction

The Army Corps of Engineers has completed much of the necessary dredging on the west side of the channel in the Upper Mobile River. They are still working on the Turning Basin and the east side of the Mobile River from the Turning Basin to the Grain Elevator. The draft restriction is lifted and vessels that are berthing on the west side of the Upper River will be allowed to load to 40 feet. For vessels that need to berth on the east side of the river from the Grain Elevator to the Three Mile Creek turning basin, the draft restriction remains at 38 feet. Please check with the bar pilots as to any further restrictions prior to sailing a ship into berths in this area. For information about operations in the USA contact GAC USA at [email protected]
