SXM comes to mind: it would have been, let's say, interesting to have been in a boat on the extended centerline at the time of the
Westjet incident in March.
KBOS has a chart note that calls for higher minimums when large ships are in the channel on the approach to 04L and 04R. I think we have a performance penalty for departing the 22s as well. The ATIS will designate "ships in the channel".
About a year ago we were flying into PHLI (Lihue on the island of Kauai). A cruise ship had just departed Nahiwilli harbor and I tried to time our approach to fly over the ship but, alas, it was a little too late for us. Those cruise ships certainly stand out off a rural island.
