Summary: Greg Hanchrow of North River Shipyard - Sound Marine Tug and Barge LLC opposes the proposed rule because it limits the operational readiness of the commercial fleet and restricts the development of future anchorage areas. He argues that the proposal creates unnecessary risks for navigation, burdens existing anchorages, and removes the ability for companies to establish necessary new anchorage grounds.
