**ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY NOTICE 7 - Closing of the 1996 navigation season**

General Information

The St. Lawrence Seaway Authority will carry out a number of major
structure restoration projects in the Welland Canal during the 1996-97
non-navigation season. Because of the volume of work and in order not to
delay the opening of the 1997 season, it is necessary that these
projects are started as early as possible. Mariners are advised that the
closing of the Welland Canal will be scheduled to take place at the
earliest opportunity in the latter part of December.

The final date will depend largely on vessel demand and weather
conditions. Confirmation regarding the above will be provided in a
timely manner.

### Closing Procedures, Montreal-Lake Ontario Section

For the 1996 navigation season, the Seaway entities have agreed to apply
the closing procedures outlined below. In these procedures the following
definitions are used: a) the closing period as that period beginning
December 1 and continuing until the last vessel has completed its
transit; b) the clearance date as 2400 hours, December 20. During the
closing period, the following procedures will be in effect:

### 1. Reporting 

a\) Commencing at 0001 hours, December 1, and for the duration of the
closing period, each upbound vessel entering the Seaway at CIP 2 or
departing upbound form a port, dock, wharf or anchorage in the
Montreal-Lake Ontario section must declare the furthermost destination
of its voyage. b) Commencing at 0001 hours, December 17, and for the
duration of the closing period, each downbound vessel entering traffic
control Sector 4 at mid-lake Ontario must declare the furthermost St.
Lawrence River destination of its voyage, along with all intermediate
destinations. Regarding a) and b), each vessel must advise the nearest
traffic control center of any changes in these destinations.

### 2. Upbound Vessels with Destinations above Port Colborne

a\) A vessel which enters the Seaway system upbound at CIP 2 after 2400
hours on December 9 and transits above Port Colborne shall be designated
a "wintering vessel". A "wintering vessel" wishing to return downbound
through the Montreal-Lake Ontario section will be granted downbound
transit privilegesonly if, in the opinion of the Authority and the
Corporation, such transit can be accomplished safely and without
interfering with the orderly and timely transit of any vessel not
designated as a "wintering vessel" or without otherwise disrupting the
system. b) A "wintering vessel" wishing to return downbound through the
Montreal-Lake Ontario section must give notification of such intent to
the Authority or Corporation at least 48 hours prior to arriving at CIP
16 (Port Colborne). c) If a "wintering vessel" is granted downbound
transit privileges through the Montreal-Lake Ontario section, it will be
subject to the following: (i) A "wintering vessel" will yield, whenever
required to do so by the Authority or the Corporation, its downbound
order of turn at Port Colborne (CIP 16) and in the area from Cape
Vincent to Prescott anchorage in favor of vessels which are not
designated as "wintering vessels". (ii) The application of subparagraph
(i) above shall not excuse a "wintering vessel" from liability for the
post-clearance-date operational surcharges as specified in the St.
Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls. d) A "wintering vessel" will be
required to accept and acknowledge that a downbound transit is not
assured, and that the Authority and the Corporation make no
representation whatsoever as to their ability to successfully transit
the vessel downbound through the Montreal-Lake Ontario Section.

### 3. Acceptance for Transit through the Montreal-Lake Ontario Section

a.  Upbound vessels not otherwise restricted will be accepted for
    transit through the Montreal-Lake Ontario section at Cap St. Michel
    up to 2400 hours, December 20. b) Downbound vessels not otherwise
    restricted will be accepted for transit through the Montreal-Lake
    Ontario section at calling-in point Cape Vincent up to 2400 hours,
    December 20. c) Vessels which have complied with these clearance
    date call-in procedures will be cleared through the system,
    operation conditions permitting. "Operating conditions" means all
    conditions which affect or may affect the operation and maintenance
    of the Montreal-Lake Ontario section of the Seaway as determined by
    the Seaway entities. d) Vessels which report at the designated call
    in points at Cap St. Michel and Cape Vincent after 2400 hours,
    December 20, will be allowed to transit only if, in the judgement of
    both Seaway entities, operating conditions permit. Such transit will
    be subject to the provisions of Paragraph 4 below. e) (i) Vessels
    which are at a port, dock or wharf in the Cap St. Michel-Cape
    Vincent section of the Seaway and which report for transit after the
    clearance date will be allowed to transit only if, in the judgement
    of both Seaway entities, operating conditions permit. Such transit
    will be subject to the surcharges as outlined in Paragraph 4 below,
    with the exception that, for vessels which are at port, dock or
    wharf within the St. Lambert-Iroquois Lock segment, the application
    of the surcharges will commence after 2400 hours, December 21, i.e.
    \$20,000 on December 22, \$40,000 on December 23 and \$60,000 on
    December 24. (ii) For vessels included in the foregoing paragraph,
    the time and date that the vessel reports to be ready in all
    respects to transit will be taken as the criteria for the
    establishment or the amount of the surcharge. f) In no event will
    any vessel be accepted for transit through the Montreal-Lake Ontario
    section of the Seaway after 2400 hours, December 24, unless it has
    reached a prior written agreement as to approval of such transit
    with both the Authority and the Corporation.

### 4. Post-Clearance-Date Transit

Vessels which report at a designated call-in point after 2400 hours on
December 20, and which are permitted by the entities to transit may be
subject to the operational surcharge specified as follows: For vessels
reporting on December 21 - \$20,000. For vessels reporting on December
22 - \$40,000. For vessels reporting on December 23 - \$60,000. For
vessels reporting on December 24 - \$80,000. It will be announced on
December 15 whether or not, based upon operating conditions, vessels
will be subject to the aforementioned operational surcharges on December
21. Should the surcharge for this date not be applied, then at 24-hours
intervals, similar reviews will be made for subsequent days, until such
date as the applicable surcharge is to be applied. However, in no event
will such a review be made after December 18. In the event there is a
postponement of the application of surcharges, the applicable daily
amounts will be based on the vessel's call-in time Cape St. Michel or
Cape Vincent. Appendix 1 of this notice provides the details on this.
Assessed operational surcharges will be prorated on a per look basis.
Surcharges representing transit through U.S. locks will be for the
account of the Corporation and payable in U.S. funds and surcharges
representing transit through Canadian locks will be for the account of
the Authority and payable in Canadian funds. Regardless of conditions,
no vessel will be accepted for either upbound or downbound
post-clearance-date transit of the Montreal-Lake Ontario section of the
Seaway until it has furnished the applicable operational surcharge. In
cases where it appears as if it may be necessary to request
post-clearance-date transit, vessels are urged to deposit security in
the amount of \$80,000 to cover the potential operational surcharge.
Failure to have sufficient funds on deposit will cause delay which could
result in additional surcharge cost, or denial of transit, to vessels
unable to furnish the applicable operational surcharge immediately upon
reaching the designated call-in point.

### 5. Transit Restrictions (Draft and Power to Length Ratio)

Unique ice conditions are encountered in the St. Lambert-Iroquois
segment. To reduce the problems of lengthy delays caused by vessels
operating in ice, the following restrictions will apply during the 1996
closing period. a) After 0001 hours on December 7, vessels in the
following categories will not be accepted for transit between St.
Lambert and Iroquois Locks:

Upbound i) Vessels with a power to length ratio of less than 20:1
(kW/meter); ii) Vessels with a forward draft of less than 40 dm.

Downbound i) Vessels with a power to length ratio of less than 15:1
(kW/meter); ii) Vessels with a forward draft of less than 20 dm.

b\) After 0001 hours on December 12, vessels in the following categories
will not be accepted for transit between St. Lambert and Iroquois Locks:

Upbound i) Vessels with a power to length ratio of less than 24:1
(kW/meter); ii) Vessels with a forward draft of less than 50 dm.

Downbound i) Vessels with a power to length ratio of less than 15:1
(kW/meter); ii) Vessels with a forward draft of less than 25 dm.

In all cases, the draft is to be sufficient to have the propeller fully
submerged. d) The draft limitations referred to in a) and b) do not
apply to tugs. e) Subject to approval, vessel operators may utilize a
tug of a minimum of 3000 HP to augment the power of a vessel not meeting
the requirements as specified above. In calculating the vessel's power
to length ratio, 50% of the tug's horsepower can be added to the
vessel's power. f) For determining the power to length ratio, the
information contained in the Lloyd's Register will be used. g) Vessel
operators should note that compliance with the above restrictions does
not assure transit and that the Seaway entities may increase or decrease
the restrictions as ice or other conditions dictate. These changes will
be announced as early as practical, but in no case later than 24 hours
before they go into effect. \[26/96\]

LAKE SUPERIOR - MN---Duluth Ship Canal - Discontinuation of Light System
on Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge - Chart 14966

In 1989 a current indicator light system was installed on the North
Tower of the Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge as a private aid to provide
current speed and direction for those ships transiting the Duluth Ship
Canal. In 1995 a telephone dial-up system was installed at both the
Duluth and Superior Entries, which provides current velocity and
direction by a voice modem. Both of these systems are being considered
for decommissioning. The Seaway Port Authority of Duluth, in conjunction
with the Army Corps of Engineers, are soliciting feedback from mariners
as to the actual utilization of either system and whether or not they
found the information obtained advantageous to their transit. This
information will be used in making the determination as to whether or
not decommissioning will take place. Comments in this regard are needed
prior to October 21, 1996 and can be written or phoned in to either
