Not a chance. Shipping is taking a global mix of low cost workers and then as cheaply as possible getting goods from A to B.
The margins are razor thin, generally negative with boom years in between.
A 400m containership is operated with a crew of 16 + whatever maintenance technicians are on board. How du you feel about leaving a single low paid person in charge of the reactor on a 6 hours on and 6 hours off schedule?
The long distance shipping industry is looking at methanol, ammonia and hydrogen to decarbonize.

The way small modular reactors are advertised, that's not the risk I'm worried about. Instead, I'd ask: what can Hamas/North Korea/literal pirates do if they boarded the vessel half way between ports, and are actively trying to cause problems.
