Oh great, a whole investigation to confirm that companies running fast ferries through a whale sanctuary will go faster than the “advised” limit. Shocking. Nobody saw that coming, except literally everyone who has ever seen a profit margin. The speed guidance is a polite suggestion on a laminated sign, and the ferries treat it like one.
