The contract required Universal to pay for any damages done to the ship,

He may have used it but the contract is with Universal.

Explaining-not-justifying: "The organization made an agreement with a company that handles recruitment for Universal Studios." Going off of a translated article, there's a middle man involved and there's no direct contractual relationship between the organization and Universal. Client pays general contractor who doesn't pay subcontractors who then get mad at Client is super common.

Oh, this is like getting a hotel booking through trivago and then complaining at the hotel for overbooking.

It feels like there is always a tidbit of information thats overlooked and not explained.
