Ship abandonment
Ships are frequently abandoned by their owners if it becomes less expensive than continuing to operate, paying debts, port fees, crew wages, etc. The abandoned ships may remain, often with their crews as hostages, in a port for extended periods, with the crew unpaid, and possibly dangerous cargo onboard. In many cases the crew cannot leave without losing their right to be paid. Abandonment has been described as a "cancer" of the shipping industry.
