I don't know what's going on with shipping. But we sure are exporting -- something. Here's a fully laden low in the water Evergreen container ship in the Chesapeake today around the Cove Point area heading south.
No tug boats in sight.

Why would tugboats be there?For your consideration ...

A la the Baltimore bridge. It was passing the Cove Point LNG terminal. Though it was not the company Evergreen that hit the Baltimore Bridge, it did get one stuck just off the shipping channel as while back. And plus, ya never know with these ships nowadays. Thought must give its Pilot credit. It must have only been doing about 4-5 knots. Was going very slow.
Plus, whenever an LNG tanker comes to the terminal for the loading of LNG, there are four tugs to assist and they wait there entire time until loading is finished and assist it when leaving.

:sigh: that is a simple shipping channel at that point. Pilot support..yes. Tugs?..never, and no point in having them there either.
IIRC after the Key Bridge accident there was a call or requirement to have tugs escorting ships out of the Harbor
yeah...hundreds of yards from berths to bridge underpass. Not miles and miles down a major navigation route. That would be like thinking tugs should escort the thousands of ships in and out of Rotterdam.
Mexican navy tall ship smashes into Brooklyn Bridge, shears off masts after losing power, 2 dead, 17 hurt
A massive Mexican navy tall ship on a goodwill visit to New York slammed into the Brooklyn Bridge late Saturday — toppling its huge masts in a horrifying scene that left two dead and 17 injured, including two critically, according to fire officials and sources.
The majestic Cuauhtémoc — which has a crew of 277, mostly cadets — apparently lost power as it was sailing out of New York on its way to Iceland and the current carried it into the road deck of the bridge around 8:30 p.m., according to Mayor Eric Adams and footage of the crash.
The collision sheared off the ship’s 147-foot masts – with alarming footage capturing numerous crew members dangling for their lives from the sails and booms after the boat hit the bridge, which has a max clearance of 135 feet.
