    Most naval vessels can do just over 30, if that. Cargo vessels spend most of their life below 10.

    50 knots means there’s some fuckery afoot.

      Sure, but the gif doesn’t show 50 knots. The gif doesn’t show any speed actually, so I really don’t know where the 50 number comes from. But on the tracker the speed was 8.1 knots. Fast for a tanker, but totally believable.
