It says "2 miles ahead and 1 mile astern of certain designated vessels" and I believe the vessels they are talking about are the
LNG ships. I haven't heard anything about bulk cargo, crude or fuels (gasoline, jet or diesel) ships. We have been calling the Coast Guard every time we bring in or ship out butane and propane barges and they are never escorted.
It is pretty stupid though.
