During this year's Vendée Globe non-stop single-handed around the world sailing regatta, three boats (of 33) had collisions with UFOs and had to abandon the race in the first 4 weeks.

Does not really help if the container is floating a bit lower and rips your keel off. I think container detecting sonar is going to be very popular once the tech is perfected.
