also, USCG are *******s when it comes to investigations, once appointed by singapore, their is a world wide trend to criminalize sailors in such cases, to keep silent until the grand jury gave them immunity was good legal advice, as ultimately lower rated crew are only following orders of the master and owners, this was good tact to avoid being a scapegoat

I have a dim recollection of that the US applies an expansive view of its jurisdiction in applying its rules on oil spills. I suspect the concern about drifiting oil was more likely to be its jurisdictional hook than the rescue. I suspect there's a worldwide trend to criminalize anyone who professional who makes a mistake with public consequences, and sailors don't seem to have been missed.
