While your narrative is a compelling one, I do not see how it maps to the sequence of events leading up to the collision. According to the investigation, Sola TS was mistaken to be a stationary object further away, and the warning received over radio was believed to come from one of the outer portside ships. If that was the information I had at hand, I would not turn starboard either.

As a ham operator the thing I noticed was the missing identification from the party talking.. just 'Helge Ingstad, turn starboard'. And so on. Never a 'Helge Ingstad, this is Sola <"on course so-and-so, speed so-and-so"..'. Helge Instad didn't (according to the report, and no wonder) understand who they were talking to. Not that the personnel on board Helge Ingstad were much better.
