They have control of the ship, but the ship doesn't own the cargo! It's not legally theirs to sell. As staff who are presumably looking to eventually get another job in shipping, they have to follow the rules even if it's not clear what they are or the owner isn't following them. The fact that the cargo is sanctioned makes it even more likely that a port will say "we're not touching that". The "flag of convenience" situation .. well, it's a great way of evading legal responsibility, but it's also a very old one. That's going to persist for some time to come.

Interesting setup that the lowly crew have to follow the rules to stay in shipping but the owner doesn’t. Usual story of the little guy getting screwed. Much like hiring undocumented people for work, the rules need to be changed so the owners get immense fines in these situations.
