I guess there are some factors that helps in this particular case. These are large container ships, the schedule is known very long in advance (the trips themselves take a long time too). After the initial hit the ships would have plenty of time to prepare before hitting port. Not trying to diminish the effort though! It is hard to imagine how they managed to hold everything together. As mentioned in the embedded clip, it has the potential to get much worse in the future where even the boats are completely autonomous. Also mentioned was that 90% of the orders came from internet, so 10% is not? Surprised me a little. Got the feeling that they have lots of manual paperwork even for internet orders, which probably helped a lot.
