I find that reasonably unlikely, unless it is a naval ship. I don't think cargo ships go that fast unless empty, and *highly motivated.* Possibly not even then.
Do we have a reliable source for this data?

Most naval vessels can do just over 30, if that. Cargo vessels spend most of their life below 10. 50 knots means there's some fuckery afoot.

My source is [marinetraffic.com](https://www.marinetraffic.com/). Other AIS trackers also corroborate it. From the sounds of it the OP and most other articles are based on similar armchair research looking at trackers so I think it's about as reliable as we're going to get.
