Information for boaters
Coronavirus information
Please find the latest guidance for all boaters on Environment Agency managed waterways here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/environment-agency-waterways-coronavirus-covid-19-update.
Due to the on-going National lock down we are taking the following approach to operating all of our lock and weir sites on the River Thames with immediate effect;
- There will be no assisted passage on the River Thames and all of our locks will remain on public power.
- There will be no charge or time limit at any Environment Agency moorings.
- We are unable to comment on what Local Authorities are doing at their moorings, this is a decision for them to make.
- We will stop charging for pump outs.
- We have extended the cleaning contract of our public toilets until the end of March so that they can remain open. Any sites that are not included in this contract, the public toilets will remain closed.
- There will be no cash handling at any of our sites.
Teddington Lock also has special arrangements in place. You can find more detail on our River Thames restrictions and closures page.
If you need to use our pump-out facilities please email WaterwaysThames@environment-agency.gov.uk to make arrangements.
The levels of service will be reviewed regularly. Our staffing levels are currently reduced as a result of coronavirus.
Our services are restricted due to the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) emergency. Go to locks and facilities for boaters for more detail.
Service Updates
Shiplake Lock is now not navigable due to high water levels at the lock site.
Rushey Lock sewage pump-out is unavailable.
Mapledurham Lock sewage pump-out is unavailable.
Cookham Lock electric charging point at the short stay moorings is unavailable. The next electric charging points are downstream Old Windsor or upstream Shiplake.
Navigation markers
When travelling upstream keep red obstruction marker buoys on your left, and green buoys on your right
When travelling downstream, keep red buoys on your right, and green buoys on your left.
Single yellow marker buoys can be passed on either side.
In all cases, pass well clear of marker buoys, and take care. You should also be careful in the margins of the river, and around bends, where river and weather conditions have resulted in tree debris collecting and some shallows forming.
Key
- Caution strong stream
- We advise users of all boats not to navigate because the strong flows make it difficult and dangerous.
- Caution stream increasing
- We advise users of all unpowered boats not to navigate and users of powered boats to find a safe mooring. This is because river flows are likely to strengthen and red boards could be displayed very soon and without warning.
- Caution stream decreasing
- We advise users of all unpowered boats not to navigate and users of powered boats to navigate with caution.
