If they are UK residents who want to have a break and return to the UK,
then there are two options. 1) they need to go straight into isolation
on returning to the UK or 2) they can show that they have not been in
contact (directly or indirectly) with people outside their crew for 10
days.


The problem seems to be two fold. The country where the ships are won't
let the crew come ashore (even to go directly to an airport), and they
won't let the replacement crew enter the country.

that's the problem of having ships registered in Liberia which they never
actually visit

I don't think this happens with ships registered in sensible places that
the ship does visit occasionally

It does actually.

We don't even allow all out nationals who are out of the
country to return without going thru quarantine for 2 weeks
locked up in quarantine hotels at their expense. And we have
very severe quotas on how many can arrive each month too.

imposing a quarantine is not the same as saying "you're not allowed off the
ship at all "

is it
