I can't believe that not only are the crew of this ship still confined to the ship *because they don't have visas* but they've also had their phones confiscated so they can't be in touch with family

They’re already away from their families and land so much because of the lack of short-term visas for these crews (which was not the case in the past), so I already feel for them, but this is intolerable. :(

They're part of an accident investigation, both the crew and their phones. Crews regularly get stuck on ships for unexpected weeks or months. It's a bummer not to have the phones but this stuff just happens. If they were US citizens they could move freely of course.

So they're prisoners. It's a prison ship. I suspect if more people knew this was a "risk" of doing this kind of job, they'd pick another job. But it's not a big enough problem *for the industry* to figure it out. It's someone else's problem == not worth solving.

I don't understand the phone situation. The FBI can clone a phone's content in minutes, so why not return them after? There's no need to hold a physical device if you've got all the data from it.
