Unscheduled locks lane outage

Beginning Monday, June 8, 2015, at 2200 hours through Tuesday, June 9, 2015, at 1000 hours (12 hours), the EAST lane of Pedro Miguel Locks will be out of service. This outage is required to replace the locks fenders at the North end, in order to ensure a safe transit to our customers. As a result, and in accordance with the rules governing the Transit Reservations System (OP's Notice to Shipping No.N-7-2015), Condition 1.a. will be in effect on Tuesday, June 9, 2015. Applications for reserved transits while Condition 1.a. is in effect will be received beginning at 0900 hours on Saturday, June 6, 2015. The Just-In-Time (JIT) slots available for supers will be reduced during this period to one slot per direction. The JIT slots available for regular vessels transiting without restrictions, as well as the booking slot available through the Auction Process, and the slots available for regular vessels less than 300 feet in LOA, will continue to be offered during this period.
