This is very common and more of an issue with server lag and almost nothing to do with your particular machine. It is simply the server and all the players in one place pushed to the limit.
If you try to wait it out more then likely it will never go past the screen control/alt/delete and shutting down either the PC or the pirates program is the only option. In these cases you can open a chat window and inform the crew you have to log out but you will be typing blind but they will be able to see your words. if you have a friend on board you can hook up in a minute or two after you log back in and tp to him and add to the crew again.
It is common on abassa and andaba but never had the problem anywhere other then privateering or once in a Boss Battle.
Nothing can be done to prevent it.

This is not the case at all. It is not the servers that are causing a connection issue. The fact that the OP is in Australia is more than likely the reason. The servers are located in the US only. Connecting to servers for any games that are based in other country's will cause similar issues.
If it is locking up while trying to port to a ship, it could very well be a PC issue. Videos drivers are the more likely culprit. It could also be a lack of ram.
Make sure you are not on a wireless connection, your video drivers are up to date, and your ram is not being taxed out by other non essential programs running in the background.
I hope this information helps.
