For the crew of a ship, the seaman’s book can replace visa in certain circumstances. It requires nations which have ratified the relevant conventions, and it applies to merchant crew who travel with their ship to a port or towards their ship waiting in a foreign port.

As a rule (but not an ironclad one), no, you will not require a visa if you stay on board. Immigration takes place only on disembarkation.
Procedures do vary from country to country though, and some countries such as Australia do require being in possession of a valid visa in order to enter their territorial waters, even in transit.
