Question: Does Baltimore use Harbor Pilots ? ALSO, Knowing that probability that a given harm may occur is Low but its severity is High... are Tugboats ever used to assist with large vessels maneuvering though and near important infrastructure? If not, should they? Do other ports do so?

Possible initiating event to look at. Failure starting at the pool slab construction joint after 40 years of failed waterproofing - corrosive chlorides concentrated through a pathway directly to top layer of reinforcement (that were under tension) corroding each of the rebars until the slab...
