I was fully expecting this to be about a micronation founded by the crews of the stranded freighters last week. Wouldn't have been the strangest thing to happen recently.
I did see a few ships that were attached to each other; would not be surprised if the crews had a get-together on there. I mean they would all have been quarantined for weeks already (broadly speaking), so low chance of getting the 'rona.
That's a great way to end up in turbo-prison en route to execution -- unless you're a prince of some sort. They're not a fan of drugs, to put it mildly.
Without a second ship at the other end to trap people in, no one was gonna be stuck more than a couple weeks; they'd all eventually decide to unload at a port or go around Africa.
That's already standard. The Asia-Europe route the Suez is used primarily for takes weeks already. Sailors get good at isolation and getting to know the dozen or two people on the boat.
