ALLOWABLE DRAFT

In the Welland Canal, please note that, for vessels loaded to a draft greater than 80.0 dm, speeds will be monitored carefully between the upper entrance to Lock 7 and former Bridge 12 in order to reduce bank erosion in this area. In addition, there will be zero tolerance for vessel drafts in excess of 80.8 dm (26' 6'').
