Sheesh. Even if the crews get a bit mutinous, sail to ???

Or maybe they'll be taking a look-see at what's in the containers?

I see the storyline for a pretty good horror movie.

Dropping off at LA probably means Christmas shopping will go on as usual. At least in the lower 48.

This is actually a pretty big deal. A major indicator of the world economic health. Freight volume is way down all over.

Doesn't the Law of the Sea, which applies to ships in Intl waters, say that any derelict (defined as no crew on board) becomes the sole property of whoever finds her, boards her and wants her, including everything on board?

Sounds like there are major league pirate opportunities to plunder all that cargo legally. Once the ship is derelict and commandeered, it's your ship now. Screw the owners of the vessel or cargo.

Entrepreneurial opportunity for a ship owner to approach and barter food, water and fuel for a few selected containers...
