    • Lady’s Island Swing Bridge Advice


      Russ on M/V Twin Sisters has this helpful advice for cruisers: While at the marina in Beaufort, SC & listening to the Lady’s
      Island Bridge on channel 9, it appears most sailboats have the incorrect opening schedule of (the old) openings on the top of the hour.

      Per the bridge tender on weekdays (weekends may be different):
      NO openings between 6:00 – 9:30 AM or 3:30 – 7:00 PM.
      Between 9:30 – 3:30, openings at every :30 (on the HALF hour).
      Before 6:00 AM & after 7:00 PM on request. This is pretty extreme & may change, so if in doubt, the bridge tender can be reached at (843)521-2111.

      ALL VESSELS: Pass thru the northern (Beaufort town side) opening ONLY as the other pass has serious damage to the fender system which could damage your hull. The height boards on both sides were also damaged & now missing.

        Harbor clearance plays a critical role in maintaining the safety, efficiency, and ecological balance of maritime environments. Whether following natural disasters, vessel groundings, or routine dredging operations, harbor clearance ensures that ports and shipping lanes remain navigable and free from hazardous debris.

        Modern clearance operations use a blend of traditional diving techniques and advanced technologies such as sonar mapping, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and specialized salvage equipment. These tools allow teams to quickly assess underwater obstructions, prioritize removal efforts, and minimize disruptions to port operations. Precision is crucial—not only for the restoration of maritime traffic but also for protecting delicate marine ecosystems.

        Strategically, harbor clearance is essential to global trade and national security. Blocked ports can cause significant economic losses, delay critical supplies, and pose threats to environmental health if hazardous materials are involved. As such, clearance operations often align closely with government compliance standards, environmental protection regulations, and maritime safety protocols.

        Today’s harbor clearance teams are multidisciplinary, combining expertise in commercial diving, engineering, environmental science, and logistics management. Innovations in salvage technology, such as high-capacity lift bags and hybrid-powered underwater vehicles, are enhancing capabilities and reducing operational footprints.

        With increasing climate risks—such as stronger storms and rising sea levels—harbor clearance efforts are becoming more frequent and complex. Forward-thinking strategies that integrate resilience planning and sustainable practices are critical to ensure the longevity and safety of the world’s maritime infrastructure.
