Thank you. Finally some sense in this thread. Tugs cost money. Money that has to be accounted for in logistics of any item. If Baltimore had enforced a tug escort to and from the port based on weight, the cost may make a shipper choose Charleston over Baltimore. It’s all about the $.
I won’t blame either political party in this matter, and truthfully, can’t blame anyone except for piss poor luck.
But Tugs could have prevented this.
