no requirements for tugs where she was at

"Ships are not required to have tugboat escorts when passing under the Francis Scott Key Bridge so they have limited ability to slow down on their own when they lose power and can not put the propeller into reverse."

Guarantee that shit's going to change now. If anyone got a few mill laying around to buy a fleet of tugs and get rich. Im pretty sure all major movements near metropolitian areas or bridges will be mandated to require escort tugs in the USA after this kinda bullshit.

As for vancouver any larger vessels over 250m LOA or what we considered a tier 1 vessel needs tugs when approaching first narrows (lions gate bridge)
