Yeah, a lot of people don’t understand how little oversight there actually is when it comes to the maintenance of cargo ships, and how hard it is to enforce the bare minimum.
Most shipping companies are untrustworthy when it comes to anything that might impact their profit margins.
lol, there actually was a few, but that is back in ye old days. 1968 - Otto Hans. 1972 - Mutsu. 1988 - Sevmorput (only one still running - but planned decomission is apparently in 2024)
I remember reading about nuclear powered shipping vessels being pitched a few years ago.
Given the state of a lot of ships, I wouldn’t want these companies using nuclear power

There’s a great YouTube channel that covers shipping disasters: Brick Immortar (https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=-BNDub3h2_I). Haven’t personally verified any of it though.

The problem is that most countries don’t have a port to accept a nuclear vessel and don’t want one in their country.
There’s certainly a cost of doing business. That’s theirs to make.
