“Everybody was trying to make the best out of a tragic situation,” Nestlehutt said. “At that point, the only real question for the seafarers was when they might be able to go home.” They’ve received visits from unions and religious groups. Most of the crew are Hindu, Nestlehutt said, but others are Muslim and Christian.

Wilson said the phones have been replaced with new ones, and Synergy Marine said in a statement in early April that the crew had unlimited use of the ship’s satellite communications to stay in touch with family. The unions said the men also suffered emotional distress from witnessing the crash and have an “unfounded fear of personal criminal liability.”
