It’s important to not let your million ton shipping freighter exceed 25 knots, or to use it as a water skiier.

Hitting the boats I doubt is the problem, hitting the propellers sounds more likely. And if it’s going 5 knots or 80 knots, the propeller is just as deadly.

Actually, hitting the boats (or, more accurately, the boats hitting the whales) is a problem. (The whale is stuck on the bulb at the bow of the ship.)



Whether or not this justifies the policy is another question.
