Waterways Ireland issues precautions during hard frost conditions

Waterways Ireland wishes to advise all masters of vessels and water users that additional caution should be taken when using Waterways Ireland facilities during the current hard frost period.

Masters of vessels and water users should bear in mind that the hard frost will lead to ice and slippery conditions on walkways, jetties, pontoons, slipways, service blocks and other areas.

Masters of vessels should also ensure that their vessels are checked regularly as the hard frost can lead to burst pipes onboard the vessel.

Waterways Ireland thanks all masters of vessels and waterways users for their co-operation in relation to this matter.
