False Flags, Stateless Ships & the Legal Blindspots | TradeSense Ep. 7

Описание: In this episode of TradeSense, Professor George Theocharidis of the World Maritime University, and the co-author of the IMO’s report on fraudulent flag registries, joins Windward’s Michelle Wiese Bockmann to break down one of the most underreported risks in maritime compliance: false flags.

They explore how vessels use fraudulent registrations to appear legitimate, the legal gaps that allow stateless ships to operate with impunity, and why current enforcement frameworks can’t keep pace. The conversation also addresses the blurred lines between false flags, shadow fleet activity, and unknown-status vessels, and what may need to happen for the international community to act faster.
