the container ship appeared “out of the blue.”
How does that happen? Was nobody watching the naval radar?
If you’re carrying military fuel it’s obvious you’re a target for sabotage.

It’s possible the tanker was the stand on boat and expected the container ship to alter its course. As the tanker isn’t the most manoeuvrable of vessels, it could have then left it too late to take avoiding action. They rarely move even when not the stand on vessel. Obviously, they should have been raising hell on the radio and prove that, too.
If they have the AIS transmissions from both vessels, it would be extremely unlikely they weren’t also receiving it. Now, if nobody was watching it, then that’s going to be a proper paddling once it goes to court.
I’m assuming the fog made it hard for visuals at a distance.
