Buncrana Harbour Dredging 2026
The annual dredging campaign will take place at Buncrana Harbour from Tuesday 5th May to Friday 15th May 2026. The MV Otterbank will carry out plough dredging daily from 7am to 7pm. Access to the pier and movements within the harbour will be restricted during these works. All other harbour users and boat operators are asked to exercise caution while manoeuvring within the harbour.
This is essential work to ensure the safe operation of the harbour for all users and to enable any necessary rescue launch by the RNLI Lifeboat for the safety of those at sea.
The work will be supervised by Donegal County Council.
