If the vessel has been navigating on the wrong route for several hours, then something shoreside has also failed. In Finland, the VTS will call you pretty quickly if you deviate too much from established shipping lanes, and if you’re asleep and don’t answer, you’ll wake up when the coast guard helicopter shines a searchlight through the bridge windows…

Edit: actual case of drunken Ukrainian captain:
