PLA Notice to Mariners – COVID 19 Restrictions
Port of London – River Thames NOTICE TO MARINERS No.6 of 2020 – 24 March 2020
COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS RECREATION AND LEISURE ACTIVITIES
We are issuing this in line with current Government Coronavirus guidance, placing restrictions on movement.
To reduce social contact, travel and potential strain on emergency services, we strongly recommend that all recreation and leisure activities on the tidal Thames are avoided until further notice.
Our priority at the PLA is to help ensure the UK continues to receive essential supplies of food, fuel and medical goods at this time.
As a result, we expect to have a reduced capability in responding to recreational incidents on the river.
To support our essential port operations, we are reducing the operating hours of our harbour service patrols between Putney and Teddington.
We are grateful for your co-operation in these exceptional circumstances.
