RIAC Cape Stage Thebes Bridge

By Tessa Andres | March 27, 2023

For awareness

One of my vessels reported that the flank speed at gray’s point was 4.5 to 5 mph this morning.

When the Cape gage goes significantly above 29 we typically implement daylight restrictions for Thebes bridge SB (tows more than 20 barges) per the WAP.

We aren’t there yet, could be there tomorrow night, if you have a large tow it may be prudent to work it out to transit Thebes SB in daylight now.

Godspeed
