There's a very quick answer, isn't there? Bring in the Army if the Police can't cope, secure the site, post the guards, and repel the looters. Clearly, the first thought was to secure the vessel and prevent it drifting out to sea and causing immense damage to the environment and shipping, not protecting a few insured containersworth of poopie-pants! Looting - or rather, 'informal coastal salvage' - is a part of seaside life, Etta - most of Devon and Cornwall's is mined with smugglers' caves where they and looters stashed the stuff.
