Either the boat deliberately jammed or it didn't. The general theory around here seems to be that the ship was beached to uncover a human smuggling operation. I'd like to point out that putting the helpless captives in this precarious position would not be the action of caring rescuers. They would be guaranteeing dead rescuees because this difficulty of getting at the containers was entirely predictable, they are designed to need cranes. However, given various military tensions in the area, there could be a good point to block traffic, divert a lot of it around Africa and out of the way, and distract others with the economic aspects. White hats would pick a cargo that would help in being a blockade.
