orang karam
i think this means the action of a castaway

Mark Oliver
: a castaway is a person. "I was in castaway" is not correct--"I was a castaway" is correct.

orang buangan (dari atas kapal)
This is just a guess -- I am not a native speaker of Indonesian.
But I feel that "orang terdampar" and "orang karam" etc, cannot be right, because the term applies to people who have been deliberately "cast away" from a ship to be left on an island, for example, by someone.
You have to get the idea of deliberate action upon a person (the castaway) and not just the idea of (passively) being stranded on an island.
