That and the mirage which was likely cloaking anything the ship was headed towards.
Maybe they should have sailed directly at the berg and hit it square on? Would have damaged fewer compartments that way...
I agree though that it probably had shell oil instead of liqui moly, and that's almost certainly what caused the catastrophic failure of the hull
