623 may *be* a skeleton crew for them. And a lot of those people may not be able to get back to their home countries with travel restrictions as they presently are, or may not be any safer there.

Dr. Wikipedia says it's normal crew complement is 897. Only 1/3 of the crew being able to go home seems plausible.

Same with a few cruise ships in Australia. The ports aren’t allowing crew to disembark. Ships can’t leave while they have sick people on board in case they need to access emergency care. Impasse.

It takes time to wind down a ship and crew of this size. 6-7 weeks ago a Greek ship chartered by a Turkish co., was turned back from Spain, cruise cancelled. Had 300+ crew onboard, was denied port in Malta, Italy, Tunisia, came to Greece. 120 people tested positive.

The ship had left for Instanbul to gather crew and get supplies 2 weeks before that in order to sail to Spain in the fist hand, so roughly around the time the pandemic was gathering speed. 2 months + for the whole thing to play out, still 70 sailors from Asia onboard....
