What engineering measures are in place to ensure we don’t get another disaster like the Titanic?

Besides having enough lifeboats for everyone onboard, there are some other things we’ve done too
* The International Ice Patrol was established to look for icebergs and warn other ships
* Requirement that ships must respond to distress signals and help in every way that doesn’t endanger their own vessel. IRL, this can be something as simple as a Mayday relay where a bigger ship with a more powerful radio reports a Mayday message to the authorities like the Coast Guard.
* To go with that second point, no turning off your radio.
And to be sardonic for a bit, we’re also rapidly warming the planet and getting rid of the glaciers that icebergs come from.
