"When a LNG tanker enters a harbor, all ship traffic is required to stop
until the LNG tanker has released all of its flammable cargo and
exited the harbor. We estimate it takes one to two days to unload, depending on the
harbor."

This doesn't affect Cove Point Maryland. There's no harbor there.
The Coast Guard is going to impose a 500-yard permanent buffer zone around the docks where
no boats would be permitted once ships begin offloading gas this summer.
Its mainly recreational fishermen that are losing one of their favorite fishing spots that are complaining.
See this Washington Post article.

The main shipping channel to Baltimore is more than a mile to the east. They won't stop traffic on that for LNG unloading.
