why 30? Aint 255 the max allowed mov?

For turn based games I think you are right. But for simultaneous turn games the max a ship can move in any turn is 30 spaces. The reason for this is the way movement is calculated in simultaneous turn games. Each turn is divided into 30 days, and the total allowed movement of a ship is divided by 30. The result is the number of days between moves for each ship/fleet. But the maximum any ship/fleet will move in any one day is 1 space. So the result is a ship with more than 30 available movement will move one space per day until the end of the turn and the excess movement is wasted.
