Shocker: ferry companies ignore speed advisories that nobody enforces. Who could have predicted it? Pelagos has had “recommended” limits for years, which in shipping terms means a polite suggestion printed on a brochure. Whales can’t read the brochure, and neither can the captains who are paid per crossing.
