It’s a blessing that jurisdictions are so clear and concise because ships are flagged with the country they are operated from. Just imagine the huge amount of legal issues if someone registered their ships in all sorts of shady places to exploit more workers and save on taxes! What a nightmare that would be.
I know, right? Wouldn’t that be absurd? A company based in, say, the US, could use a matrioshka doll-esque sequence of shell companies to pretend a ship is from some totally unrelated country with far laxer regulations. I’m glad we don’t live in a world where corporations are allowed to flout the rules that apply to you and me.
Yeah, man! Just imagine how complicit any government would be in ignoring such obvious disregard for human lives and wellbeing! This would be absolutely bonkers!
