Any insight into how this happened so suddenly? Somehow they managed to pay for fuel and crew to get across the ocean, but didn't have money to pay the stevedor

Any insight into how this happened so suddenly? Somehow they managed to pay for fuel and crew to get across the ocean, but didn't have money to pay the stevedores? How does that happen? Couldn't one of their executives whip out a credit card for the labor? It seems dangerous to have something the size of a container ship sitting around near a busy port.
