So, basically the ship (and CARGO!!!} is floating across Planet Earth unmanned. And if I were to put a tow rope on it and lay claim, I'd then own a huge containership and it's CARGO! Ah, the life of a pirate. Gotta drop what I'm doing and go make a haul!

Our sailing club doesn't have dock space for it!   I'll have to pass on this one.

Canada is short of 6000 needed people for the nations maritime force running from large Great Lakes and international freighters down to ferries and small harbor tugs.

The U.S. has large shortage and its not rare throughout much of the world.

Odd, one would think the 2nd container ship would have attempted to tow it in. At least closer to a port where a maintenance/repair crew could look at it. I guess they're leaving it to the insurance company.

The ship may be adrift, but is not unmanned.

The explosion in the engine room shut down propulsion power, but the rest of the crew is still onboard.

Maersk will determine needed repairs when the rescue ship arrives, make adjustments if needed to the Sana crew to provide safety, and continue.

A suitable tug or repair ship will finish off the return to service.

I suspect that there are emergency generators running, and the bridge crew and non engine room crew continue to eat well.

Your lines are the daily standards all over the earth. The one or more I read every day are the ones of some importance or just "news". And deaths are daily. The standard number of commercial vessels of all kinds at the official bottom level of 5000 GT total around 88,000 vessels.
The majority of the ships now have crew made up of people from 2 to many countries. Filipinos are the most all over the world but the growth is moving to people in African countries nowhere near water. 
Young people who have never seen water are the ones who are being trained.
Similar things are being done in the US for people from anywhere, male or female, being trained to work in shipyards.

Humanity is pretty interesting.

It's sort of like the US Navy making Commanders out of people from KANSAS and NEW MEXICO
