That low speed is far too low. When I was on the Holyhead to Dublin
ferries recently, my GPS was giving 45mph for the return journey, and
25-30mph for the outward (different ferries, the return was the swift
fastcraft).
If you want the GPS traces for analysis let me know.
I don't know if this low speed was used to take into account the 45
minute checkin? However it would be a better option to say this point
adds a 45 minute delay.
