Practically, it’s for lighter regulations and tax advantages, a convenient flag of convenience.
But as a naval officer, I see it differently: a vessel’s true allegiance should be clear on the high seas, for safety and accountability.
Every time we intercept a suspicious ship flying a flag it has no real connection to, it complicates everything — from jurisdiction to rescue protocols.
That little balcony studio where I record our fading Garhwali tunes? It’s about roots. A ship, like a culture, shouldn’t sail under a borrowed identity just because it’s easier, yaar.
