Bridge bookings can be made by telephone during office hours. Lifts for weekends should be booked by 16:00 hours on Friday or on the previous working day in the case of Public Holidays. Lifts are not normally made during the peak traffic periods – 08:00 to 09:15 and 12:00 to 13:00. The last lift of the day is normally 16:00.

Vessels will be grouped together on lifts whenever possible. When the craft is to transit the bridge in opposite directions, those vessels going “with the tide” will be given priority.

The bridge is only manned 10 minutes before a lift and vessels waiting for a lift should seek advice from the Bridge Master if unsure of what to do.
