(A) Relationship between broad-band SL and speed for a 294 m container ship that transited the region on four separate days (10/17/2008, 11/21/2008, 04/10/2009 and 05/14 2009). Equation for the linear relationship and goodness of fit value (R2) are shown. (B) The net reduction in SEL for the container ship in (A) for different speeds. The derived curve is based on the relationship between SL and speed (A) and known operation speed of 12 m/s (23.3 knots). The gray part of the curve indicates that these speeds are likely not possible for a container ship.
