(2)  Available water depth may be temporarily reduced due to height of tide or during periods of high winds.  Vessels scheduled to arrive at, or load to, maximum drafts should review latest weather and tide conditions to insure adequate water levels are available for safe operations.<span-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">
