It is only the part from Montreal onward to Great Lakes that is closed dow due to ice. The reason for this is that the lock system can not operate with ice around the gates as it will be too much damage to them caused by the ice pressure as ships are passing. Also to open and close these doors will be impossible. To ship yor project cargo to Becancour in the winter would therefor be no problem for you. Good luck with your project! Paschal

Free fall lifeboat also have problems, including some really appalling design. There is considerable debate in the industry whether or not lifeboats should be used at all and their replacement with liferafts have a lot of support. Indeed, it may well be that the reason one rarely sees people being rescued in lifeboats is that the mater has refused to use them on the grounds of safety.
