You wouldn’t need to do anything particularly extreme, simply equipping ships with a few loud explosives (think m80 or smaller firecrackers) would still solve this problem.

Interesting. Been tried apparently.

Fireworks appear—unofficially—to be the only effective deterrent method, but it is illegal and can lead to heavy fines, because the orcas are peaceful and loud noises risk damaging their hearing.

It must be said that cannon shots, known as seal bombs, are commonly used by American authorities to scare orcas away from oil spills. However, they are detonated at a long distance.
