The USCG hosted a conference today to discuss the current LMR Navigation situation.
DRAFT RESTRICTION IN PLACE
“Maximum allowable freshwater draft of 42 feet and one-way traffic from MM 02 to MM 04 AHOP at all times until further notice.”
USACE
- Dredge working at jump then will move to Cubit’s Gap.
- No plans at this time for dredges working Sunday. That might change.

Pilot Navigation Concerns:
BAR
- One-way traffic in SWP until backlog cleared.
- Trying to get the two cruise ships to arrive earlier than scheduled to get them in tonight.
CRPPA
- Understand there are ships already loaded above 42’ draft.
- Will keep an eye on surveys and will increase draft as soon as dredging/surveys indicate deeper water is available.
NOBRA
- Suggests moving the vessels over 700′ downbound past MM 81.
Federal
- Work with all pilot groups to convoy ships.
