I would imagine that tgey realized it would be easier to do autopilot on a container ship than drones. They already have pilot boats, where a licensed captain navigates from a staging area off shore into the port of call. Actually a reasonably standard thing in shipping. They are now the level 3/cogent + verizon + netflix of commerce. I dont even think walmart had this level of rollup.

  They do not have their own ships. They have become a licensed intermediary, it means they can resell capacity on ocean container ships.
