Looks like the Ever Given is swinging at anchor.
The transmitter antenna for the AIS (Automatic Identification System) is usually located atop the bridge or wheelhouse, which in the case of the Ever Given is 1/4 to 1/3 ship’s length back from the bow (1300 ft long, so 300 to 400 feet from the bow). The anchor is located in the bow (actually there are 2, but only one would be used here).
Depending on tide and wind, when at (bow) anchor the boat will act like a weathervane and the stern will point away from the wind/tide/current. Because the AIS antenna is located away from the bow, it will often show up as an arc or circle on sites like marinetraffic.
You are right though... it does like like a certain letter....
