05 Apr 2018 / Mobile, United States
The Mobile District Army Corps of Engineers released the latest soundings of the Upper Mobile River and show that there is shoaling in the channel from Three Mile Creek turning basin and southward several hundred feet.
Because of the existing conditions, a maximum draft of 38 feet will be imposed for ships entering or departing Three Mile Creek Turning Basin or using that portion of the Mobile River north of the Grain elevator at the Alabama State Port Authority.
The Army Corps of Engineers is presently making plans to deploy a dredge to that location in the next two weeks. For vessels that are currently loaded with a draft that exceeds 38 feet and desiring to transit that location, please contact this office. Please check with the bar pilots as to any further restrictions prior to sailing a ship in that location.
You can find the surveys at: http://navigation.sam.usace.army.mil/surveys/detail.asp?code=MR
This notice is cancelled June 27, 2018.
