I didn't read that particular article but is it referring to the possibility that the navigation or GPS systems on board may have been hacked? Maybe time to go old school and post a watch up in a crows nest.

They do have posted watches on deck. Nav and GPS doesn't tell you where another ship is. Radar and ship transponders(and watch crew) do. Weather was clear.
