There is an ongoing search and rescue effort and authorities are looking for upwards of seven people.

    I watch ships in Astoria. I never see tugboats. The ship operate under theiR own power

      I’m reasonably sure it’s up to the harbour master of the port in question, or whatever governing body in whichever jurisdiction applies.

      I imagine every port in the world has its own distinct set of regulations.
