- ethbr1 2y agoUnfortunately and by industry standard, a ship's owner and operator are often obsfuscated under multiple layers. It's about as easy to figure out who actually owns and is operating a ship as tracing an international bank account ~1980. It'll be curious if one outcome of the Russian shadow fleets is a stronger worldwide push for verifiable true commercial maritime registration. Essentially: mandating transparency in shells and KYC reporting, in the same way post-9/11 financial reporting was implemented.
