You can tell. Turning that thing drops speed pretty significantly, you need to increase speed through a turn to maintain the same speed so to speak. You would notice that if you were the captain of those kind of vessels. Especially considering the financial implication of the shipping company. We are talking about tens of thousands of dollars of fuel, where a normal captain would have gone minimum bell or just stopped and anchor to wait if there was time to kill.
Think how much these companies care about gas for our truckers! This is the same issue but scaled up, I could imagine someone being fired for wasting the amount of fuel drawing that.
