M/V Majestic was a British container ship, owned and operated by a British Company. The Vessel was flagged in Panama and frequently made trips from Europe to North America and the Caribbean. On August 10th; the vessel set sail with a 15 mancrew. The crew mostly consisted of Japanese, Turkish and the Captain was British. The vessel would stop in Miami to offload cargo for a major international festival being held there. The vessel's final stop before returning to Europe was in Jamaica. The crew was excited to stop in Jamaica, but were disappointed that the stop would be brief and would not allow for much leisure time.

After arriving in the Port of Kingston, the crew offloaded its cargo, and then proceeded to anchorage as they were awaiting a tiny shipment before they continued their journey. During the wait, the crew disembarked and enjoyed the scenery as is customary anywhere in the world. After two weeks of waiting, the crew grew weary, especially since no communication was forthcoming from the ship owner. The food supplies ran low and garbage started piling, when they crew checked they did not receive their June or July pay cheque. By September 1^st, the captain advised that they were left in Jamaica, subject at the mercy of the Jamaica people and government. Confused, the crew sought legal representations from you. Inform them of their situation and the legal route to take.

Your response should provide the legal principles or concepts as implied or mentioned in the scenario and MUST be supported by case laws (i.e. past cases evidencing the principle(s) if necessary.
