EVER GIVEN Captain & Crew Under Areast!

Why arrest them for an accident caused by the wind?

At impact, it was running 12.2-13.5 knots (depending on the source). It had been running 12-13 knots for most of the transit before grounding. 8.6 knots is the maximum allowed speed limit in the canal.

Thanks for the correction, didn't realize it was so much faster than the limit...
You bet. Yeah, they were really cookin'. Makes you wonder if they were running from something.... Nah. Whoever was in control was going for maximum ramming speed.
