I believe I saw this on reddit last week and I feel it's disingenuous. It's sped up and meant to make it look like the whale is frantically trying to escape while being hemmed in by ships, but a more plausible explanation is that the whale is attracted to the wakes of the passing ships.
This speaks to some kind of phenomenon that creates a feeding opportunity for the whale.
Perhaps a marine biologist can speak more intelligently to this.
