There is something going on here that we do not know. A hard right rudder 30degrees should have cleared this.
There are watches on deck, signal bridge with the big eyes, starboard forward, port forward, and astern. The ocean is vast. There is no freakin' way that you could 'run into' a ship unless you were trying to. And even so, the odds of actually hitting a ship at sea, you can't count the odds.
Something happened. We do not know what the story is.
