The German Public Broadcaster DW has a short video[1] covering this, including some of Kentaro Iwata's video statement. The mention that the Japanese government is allowing it's citizens to leave and use public transit seems like a very risky and foolhardy move. While I'm certainly no expert, and I'd definitely hate to be stuck on that ship - I think Japan could surely have set up some kind of field isolation area in the last few weeks and get passengers off and isolated using proper quarantine protocols. The statement by Kentaro Iwata makes it clear that nobody with a background in infectious diseases was involved in setting up proper quarantine procedures onboard the ship.
