RE: Manchester Ship Canal
Is this going to effect any Manchester Ship Canal cruises ?

RE: Manchester Ship Canal
I think Mersey Ferries have cancelled them all for this week as Snowdrop is still on the canal from Sunday. Five tons of Oil entered the canal from Stanlow due to a fault so it should reopen today once the clean up is complete

RE: Manchester Ship Canal
Just wanted to point out that there is 3 ships currently navigating down the canal above Warrington. Just thought I would mention it with this being very rare in the last 15-20 years. The ships are Costal Deniz (Peel container ship), Arklow faith, Arklow rouge, and Arklow fame is also docked at eccles. 4 cargo ships above Warrington is now somthing of a rare ocurance.

RE: Manchester Ship Canal
Manchester Ship Canal currently closed above Runcorn due to the ongoing storms. Dont know much deatail but the Mersey has apparently breached the ship canal near Warrington.

RE: Manchester Ship Canal
So because it's not really documented elsewhere online I'm going to endeavour to mention each movement beyond the Runcorn gap. There is a site called ships of the Mersey that do this but I have known them to miss some movements but still a cracking site with some great photographs all the same so worth a look if you get chance.

Anyway the Arkonia a coastal vessel, is currently docked at Salford.
