Unscheduled Lifts
Mariners need to check the Headroom Displays at the Bridge to judge if they can pass without requiring a lift.
When hourly lifts are scheduled no on-demand lifts will be provided for commercial vessels except for those over 40m long, or as directed by the Harbour Master (ie no unscheduled lifts between 05:00-08:00 or 16:00-20:00). This will ensure disruption to road traffic is kept to a minimum.
