I have done the ditch more times than I can count. Whenever I approach a tug/barge I always try to get them on the radio and ask them if they prefer me to slow down. I can't remember one occasion where the skipper asked me to slow. (actually I do remember one occasion - I passed a tug pushing 8 brand new army/navy?? landing craft in SC). He asked us to slow. But most skippers could care less. there aren't too many boat wakes that will even affect them a bit. If you don't know just ask...
