Speed limit is 8 knots, EverGiven was clocked (radar? LOL) at 13.5 knots.

The Ever Given container ship was reportedly travelling faster than Suez Canal speed limit before running aground

Thanks, I don’t know anything about that, but I don’t discount it. As a rule, I don’t even read anything anymore from Business Insider. I have never trusted them.

That said, just because I might be paranoid doesn’t mean there aren’t people out to get me...:) When I read your analysis...well, I had to pull back hard on the reins because my inclination was “Yeah...I can see that...”

I am struggling unsuccessfully NOT to see malintent in everything, but given what we have clearly seen for the last decade or so from our own government, well...I cannot discount that kind of thing.

And so, I sell myself short occasionally. Sigh.

"Speed limit is 8 knots, EverGiven was clocked (radar? LOL) at 13.5 knots."

Will the Captain get a speeding ticket for going 5.5 knots over the limit?
