Newton's Law of Conservation of Momentum applies here.In simple terms, it means,that if you want to stop a 550000 dead weight ton super tanker going at 10 kilometers per hour the engines need to apply almost 550,000 times 10 the force in the opposite direction to stop it.If the supertanker stops within less than 20 km from port.
