Power outage Sunday resulted in a halt of marine navigation

Marine traffic has resumed on the Welland Canal.

A power outage on Sunday evening caused suspension of navigation.

After restoring service to Lock 1 on Monday afternoon, the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation (SLSMC) maintenance personnel and contractors worked diligently to minimize
delays to shipping and re-open Lock 7 by 10:30 last night.

No one was hurt during the outage.

Transits through Locks 1 will proceed with hands-free mooring. Transits through lock 7 will be temporarily supported by line-handlers until such time as the damaged hands-free-mooring
units can be repaired.
