Well from my expirence, slow is usualy 5 or 7 knots, medium is 10-12 knots, and fast is anything from 15 to over 30 (typicaly only warship task forces do 30 knots or better)

From my contacts.cfg file

Code:

[ContactSpeeds]
;less than each value means (in this order): stationary, slow, medium and fast speed ; over the last value means very fast speed
Merchant=0.1,8,12,35  ;[kts]
Warship=0.1,8,19,35   ;[kts] including uboats
Air=0.1,8,19,35       ;[kts]
Convoy=0.1,8,12,35    ;[kts]

What it meens is.. lets use the merchant as the example, its stationary speed is 0.1, its max "slow" speed is 8, its max "medium" speed is 12, and its max "fast" speed is 35.

So a ship can be going anywhere from 0.2 to 8kts and be considered traveling slow, from 8.1 to 12 is medium, and 12.1-35 is fast
