    That would certainly make it displace more water.

    You can include racetrack as another example. A lot of small tracks have been forced to close due to urban sprawl.

    From the video description - "The displacement effect in this video is being caused by a 1000' long Freighter heading northbound on the St. Clair river, running at 4 knotts over the allowed speed of travel early in the shipping season. "

    If you'd prefer a more concrete example - the Ever Given was speeding when it grounded itself in the Suez, so was the Ever Forward and so were both of these:

    Again - so an overloaded ship is okay, but a bridge over a creek needs regulating?

    If the ship causes damage to that bridge, railings aren't going to do squat.
