Norm: It is not a local law but a federally mandated one.
Thus both of the tugs that you were involved with were stand on vessels.
Notwithstanding the fact that communication is as important as
complying. Did the tugs give you any whistles or did you to them?
Best Regards:
Andy Anderson.

Andy,
I cannot argue anyone else's experience.
With the situation in Norfolk I called the rogue tug by its name,
clearly
visible on the top of the pilothouse.
With the tug in Halifax, since I had experience with the arrogant,
dangerous
tugboat driver in Norfolk I stopped my vessel well before extremis.
As far as special New York area rules enacted by the local government, I
have
read that it is illegal to make any local ordinances contrary to Federal
Law.
Norm
