members of crew having to remain on board ship for an extended period of time when the ship is stopped for some abnormal reason, is not an uncommon occurrence. It was a problem for many mariners during covid (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52494839). It also happens when shipping companies go bust (https://www.businessinsider.com/cargo-ship-crewmen-left-unpaid-and-starving-jinan-kenya-2021-5) and when a ship runs into trouble for whatever other reason. Because ships' crews are often international it can lead them into legal difficulties when they're no longer protected by their employment.

There was that one guy that had to sit on board a ship alone for years in the middle east somewhere when his company said ok ready your the captain now ok bye and dissolved after owing a bunch of money.

If only the ship had crashed into a tropical desert island and not a bridge, the crew could be up to all sorts of wacky adventures by now. Either that or cannibalism, but yeah probably the former.

They've already removed some of the wreckage and there's now a channel open for canoes and dinghys to pass. The port is practically open again.

You have no idea. Go read about salvage laws and about how you may have to negotiate the terms of the rescue of your own ship if offered help.

No and everytime you ask, they dump more poo poo in the port to clean up.

Well, I guess they do that anyways. Fine, they dump EVEN MORE poo poo!!
