from the outboard side of the commercial vessel.
(ii) Vessels may transit through any portion of the zone that
extends into the navigable channel for the sole purpose of direct and

navigable channel, maintain the maximum safe distance from the
commercial waterfront facility and do not stop or loiter within the
zone.
