The crew has been dependent on charitable food aid. ""Closed courts and quarantine measures"" were cited as causing a delay to resolution. Extra pressure as a result of the coronavirus pandemic has meant food supplies are delayed getting to the crew, with the closure of the courts delaying resolution of the case. In January 2021 the abandoned ship became grounded on a beach and authorities are preparing to drag her into a port."
