Port Operations uses VHF channel 14 in that area, I believe. A switch to that channel might have shed some light on what is going on. That place is like a conga line of inbound and outbound traffic. ( I hate it when they accidentally broadcast on HIGH, you can pick up the chatter all the way to Shelter Island and Montauk).
Can commercial vessels over a certain size pass under the bridge when visibility drops below a certain distance?
