A general rule of thumb, if a cruise ship decides to pull out of its dock or a barge is steaming down the middle of the river; you don’t need a boat with some speed and maneuverability to intervene. You need to get out of the way!
If you are fast enough to swim out of the way of a cruise ship or a barge...then I guess there is a reason you aren't worried about prop guards or insurance. I, however, am not. If I really needed to get out of the way - then I would get on my support boat.
