Flags of Convenience

All of those ships with flags from Liberia, Panama…

What a disgrace! Everything is false, simulated, shipowners, charterers, insurers, reinsurers…

All of this is an immense sham to avoid responsibility, earn more money –as is to be expected in a market economy!- in detriment to the environment, with tax fraud and the violation of international law.

Only a strong United Nations, endowed with sufficient resources would be able to enforce the law and control these excesses.
