German Wikipedia has an article on ship deflectors. What is says there is that ship collisions were viewed an an inevitable hazard until the 1980 collapse of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Tampa. That was 45 years ago.

Trying to search for "ship deflectors" or whatever just brings up pages and pages of Star Wars shields and such in English.

I know they exist, and perhaps after this they'll exist a bit more.
