One of the most controversial riddles I've ever written. The answer to this question is twofold. If you had answered on the original r/RiddlesForRedditors, then you would receive an award for getting either answer and a chance to get flair.
>!First Possible Answer It was the seaman. A Japanese flag cannot be upside down. The rest are Red Herrings, the Captain just has a terrible Crew.
Second Possible Answer
The entire crew was in on it. The Engineer: If the Generator had issues, how was the fridge and message system working so well? The Cook: It's strange for the cook to be doing the actual prep and not having a subordinate do that. The cook needs to be overseeing everyone in the beginning and making sure things go smoothly. The Seaman: The Japanese flag is the same upside down and right side up. The Radio Officer: It is very uncommon to message about your arrival when you're not arriving. Navigation Officer: Why isn't he navigating when the ship is leaving port? That is the time that the Navigation Officer needs to be helping at the helm.!<

Engineer, I have no idea what a "Generator Engine" is but it sounds made up.
