1. Sorry about the open ended question void of contex, I was thinking about something which happened 30 years ago - Never mind.

2. How do they keep the ships apart? I guessing they lower the speed, keep a safe distance and pray? No tugs out there, do any of the ships in the picture have bow or stern thruster?
