Correct me if I'm wrong but don't a lot of fairways like
that in the Chesapeake come under the auspices of the
International Rules?

In these circumstances both ships would be communicating with the harbour

slow down and wait until the outgoing vessel was clear. However, if the

be given priority.


Harbor control? What's that?

I think there is such a thing in New York and maybe in a few other ports
on the East Coast, but it is certainly the exception, not the rule.
Actually, it may be more common now after 9/11. Perhaps one of the
"pros" can address this issue.

Since the harbor entrance in still under Inland rules, I might guess
this happened in the Chesapeake.

The number of ports with a "control" entity is increasing. Donal is correct
regarding the way a "control" might handle this situation, however, world wide,
these controllers are still the exception, not the rule.
If you're talking the Chessy, like otn, I question which rules applied
(int/inl).
I agree with otn, in that I'd like to see more (especially the lurkers) get
into questioning this case.
