Unkated,
I like that..though I might try the CDC/PHSUS route.

"Um, yeah, we heard there was a meningitis/hepatitis outbreak aboard. Crew abandoned ship before harbor entry, god knows where they are. We're here to do epidemiology intel work and find the ship's log, so we can figure out where the hell they got the bug? You don't want us aboard, ok, fine..let us know when you begin to get flu-like symptoms, ok?"

Or, pretend you're Coast Guard/NTSB doing an accident investigation....like how in the hell the an unmanned ship was allowed clearance into the harbor, not to mention plow into a dock in NY Harbor.
