Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
It is Allah, your Creator, Who keeps the ships afloat and makes them move on the surface of the sea to be of service in effecting your objects which are sought after of His Bounty. Indeed, He has been always Rahimun (Merciful) to you
Quran 17:66 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Ships are a Sign of the Mercy of Allah
Allah tells us of His kindness towards His servants by subjugating for them ships on the sea.
He makes it easy for them to use ships to serve their interests, seeking His bounty through trade between one region and another.
He says:
إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًا
( Truly, He is ever Most Merciful towards you. ) meaning, He does this for you out of His grace and mercy towards you.
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(17:66) Your (real) Lord is the One, Who drives your ship across the sea *82 so that you may seek His bounty. *83 The fact is that He is very merciful towards you.
It is your Lord who drives the meaning
*82) This passage ( vv.
66-72 ) is closely connected with the previous one.
It tells man that if he wants to protect himself from the allurements, temptations and false promises of Satan who has been his avowed enemy from the day of his creation, he should recognize his real Lord and be steadfast in His obedience.
Satan intends to prove that man is not worthy of the honour with which Allah has blessed him.
Therefore if he follows any other way he cannot escape the snares of Satan.
In this passage, arguments of Tauhid have been put forward in order to make man steadfast in his Faith and refrain from shirk.
*83) That is, " Try to avail of the economic, social, educational and intellectual benefits which are provided by the sea voyages. "

Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
Your Lord is He Who drives the ship for you through the sea, in order that you may seek of His Bounty. Truly! He is Ever Most Merciful towards you.
