Letter: Why No Tug?

Regarding recent articles in WJ concerning the Dali which struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge: the Dali was not accompanied by a tug.  It would have seemed to me that if it was, this situation would have been avoided.  Why was there no tug?

The answer is as I understand it—a tug was not required due to Coast Guard rules.  Maybe these rules need to be changed.
