These ships would be incredibly expensive and slow to unload at sea. Container shipping is very dependent on dock-side infrastructure. One of the reasons why shipping switched to containers (and away from break-bulk) is precisely because it is difficult to steal from containers.

Expensive, slow and dangerous. Not all containers will be accessible at sea. Getting to some of them may require removal of cables used to steady tall stacks. And unloading any containers haphazardly risks unbalancing the ship.
