If it ain’t in the lease, you must release.....................

It's maritime law, so it's in federal court. It's all up to the judge. I doubt the judge will find that the lease was valid in perpetuity, so that it couldn't be terminated at some point, or the owner of the pier couldn't adjust the price for inflation. The compromise could be that the ship leaves the pier in exchange for the pier releasing its claim against the ship. The ship still needs a place to go, and a way to get there since its now lacks its own propulsion and could be considered a derelict if just moored somewhere in the Delaware.

There was a similar ship, IIRC, at anchor in Jacksonville Florida for decades. It eventually had to be scrapped because it had rusted so badly. I forget the name..............
