Interesting that the Dali built 2015 was too big for the old Panama Locks, but inside the new Panamax for the new locks that opened in 2016.
^^^^^^^
Oh thank god for that! After finding myself agreeing with not one, but two other posts of yours, I find the real Winseer is alive and well and (seemingly) has not been the subject of an alien abduction, so normal service can be resumed.
So itâs âThe enemy withinâ eh? The US donât need a âfifth columnâ as long as Trump still thinks heâs in with a chance.

Sigh⌠Modern journalists, do they even finish school? Has this reporter never heard that marine speed is measured in âknotsâ? 9 mph is roughly equivalent to 8 knots, which although isnât âfastâ, for a vessel that large it would feel fast as you donât have fast manoueverability. For a human in the water though, 8 knots would feel fast as hell!
i want to see the bbcâs little black book of âexpertsâ that they always manage to dig out the cupboard with in 2 minuets of something happening.
Jeee-zuz H Kerr-iced! I think Iâve worked out why youâre called Manalishi, itâs because you wear the two-pronged crown of total dominion over all your fellow paranoid conspiracy theorists. 
ooohhhâŚ
The journo didnât say either fast or slow or make any other subjective comment.
If you want pedantryâŚor precisionâŚor accuracyâŚ? 
The ship was travelling in knots⌠and in mph, kph, and m/s.
It was travelling at a certain speed. Speed can be measured in many different ways, although knots is the norm for traditional mariners.
hence why or otherwise we have si units and agreed terms of their usage.
Here is a link to a free vessel tracker giving locations and speeds in real time. https://www.vesselfinder.com/
There are also several aviation ones available.
Such as Flightradar24
And two ships communicating with each other might well use knots.
A journo communicating with a lay audience? Knots or mph?
Which will the reader understand more easily?

There is a rumour that pilots have special soles on their shoes.

Total loss of power resulting in insufficient speed to maintain steerage from an already low speed under power.
If youâre in a marine vessel and approaching an object on your trajectory, you will be considering what your speed feels like, I promise you.
And if speed was not relevant, why was it included by the âjournalistâ? They obviously felt their partial knowledge was somehow significant or relevant. I image they were thinking it cast the skipper in a negative light as it âsounds slow enough to have taken evasive actionâ.
And no, thatâs not âaccuracyâ to quote other measures, if it was youâd also need to be quoting percentages of light speed, or furlongs per minute or any other unit also not appropriate to the object in question.
Oh no, more fuel for the âit was an inside jobâ conspiracy theorists
Well done those coppers 
The journalist reported the speed in a form readily understandable to the public.
She didnât say Fast nor Slow.
The accuracy is not format dependent.
Why was the speed reported at all?
In some of my posts, I commented that the meteo said zero wind, -1C air and +10 air temp, and that the there should have been, a good height clearance between the top of the ship and the base of the bridge deck.
Seems to me to be sound background info.
If it isnât covered then someone will ask, or someone (no names!) will scream âCover up! Why is it a secretâ
The speed of the ship relative to the water is totally relevant and critical to providing the rudder with the authority it needs to steer the ship.
In this case it looks like total loss of power v a slow moving manoeuvring ship resulting in negative steerage way.
The designers of the bridge seem to have omitted the provision of large concrete piers to guard against the possibility of errant ships hitting the known to be vulnerable bridge support pylons and bridge design.
Case closed where does Tnet CSI send our bill .The shipping company or the bridge builders or they can split it between them.
The multiple-levels of this globalist thing - are all about their continuing to rule over us - or not.
âPolitically Unstableâ is how THEY describe the regimes that they have less control over now than they did prior to the lockdown, and great resetâs beginnings, some years ago now.
Still they continue their âLet 'em eat cakeâ response to the ongoing public concerns, however.
This incoherent babbling is in what way related to the Dali incident?
No CommentâŚ
However here is a quite calm YT showing the track of the Dali and the video in sync.
