I mean. If they can remotely take over a journalist's car to crash him into a tree and kill him, I don't see why they can't do the same with a ship. How much of these modern shipping vessels is automated?
They most certainly can. Modern ships can be remotely operated from a shore base. The technology has been in place for awhile. At least one company that I know of has tested the feasibility of remotely operating their ships with just a tiny crew on board. I am a retired Coast Guard officer who makes his living now as a ship inspector.
