Where would those foreign workers live? In the ship?

  Yes. That is exactly how such things are done.

    Hmm, I didn't think it was legal for foreign nationals to live (be resident) just offshore like that..

      Such as all of those manning the cruise ships sailing out of US ports? Every large ship sitting in s US harbor has forgien workers living aboard.

        I would have assumed cruise-ship workers would come on land for long port stays. And that larger cargo vessels wouldn't stay long. How long can you stay in one place before it counts as residency?

          Syrian sailor stranded on abandoned cargo ship off Egyptian coast - BBC News Apr. 6, 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyU6NtwspLM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyU6NtwspLM The Egyptians have told him he cannot leave the ship. He has been stuck as its "master" for over a year. These things happen in the world of international shipping. Human rights tend to disappear.

            But wait, this isn't a standard thing - the cargo vessel wasn't intended to stay long?
