Big Container Ship

Gizmodo posted a note about the OOCL Shenzhen - a huge container ship that carries electronics hardware from Hong Kong.  The ship is only manned by 19 crew members because almost all control of the vessel is possible using a single Windows-based terminal.

I was wondering what happens if Windows crashes? That's a lot of iron and steal to go off course because of a BSOD.
