Urgent – East Farleigh Gate Failure – 6th March 2025

We are currently trying to resolve mechanical gate issues at East Farleigh Sluice. One of the gates has failed in the open position.

 

The water levels in the pen East Farleigh to Teston are dropping.

 

DO NOT navigate or attempt to enter this pen. Please check mooring ropes and take extra care if you are on your vessel.

 

We are working urgently to resolve the issue.
