NTM 08/21 Gourock Ferry Terminal Linkspan Replacement Works

Scheduled ferry services will maintain operations from the new steps structure, but mariners should be aware that the linkspan continues to be closed to berthing by all vessels. This will be strictly enforced throughout the period of the works.

Civil works will also be supported at times by divers operating from a dive support vessel berthed alongside the linkspan lifting dolphins or quayside. An A-Flag will be displayed at all times when divers are in the water. The Master of the dive support vessel and the marine works the supervisor will maintain VHF communication with any nearby vessels on channels 12 and 16.

Until further notification informing harbour users that works have concluded, mariners navigating near to or in the vicinity of Gourock Ferry Terminal are requested to do so with caution, regulate their speed to minimise the effects of wash and stay well clear of any dive support vessel when an A flag is being displayed or any other vessels supporting the works.
