I wouldn't think anti-collision systems would be feasible on a container ship: they're too big with too much inertia. It can take miles to slow to a stop or execute a turn. It's not like a car, where you can just hit the brakes and have immediate results. All that extra braking and re-accelarating would burn a bunch more fuel, too.
A good anti collision system here could be a dude with binoculars lol!
Don’t need binoculars. As the ship drifted out of control, they had a clear view of the bridge they had no power to avoid.
