- Lio 2y agoThat's a dangerous precedent to set. The initial claims might be legitimate but I worry that trumped up claims would soon escalate into an excuse for state sponsored piracy from other parties.
- slashdev 2y agoThat happens anyway. The claim is legitimate, so objections would be half hearted. It may well invite the aggressor country to return the favor though (in that case stop trading with them completely)
- Kon-Peki 2y agoNobody would buy it, except maybe some anonymous shell company… … who will tell the crew that their past wages are the responsibility of the old owner, who they’ve never heard of. The fact that their new destination is exactly the same is a complete coincidence.
- slashdev 2y agoThen you sell it for scrap.
- Kon-Peki 2y agoSure, why not? It will have to be towed/sailed to some suitable location and then people have to actually go about the process of scrapping it. Unfortunately the cost of all of this exceeds what you can sell the scrap for, so again, nobody is going to buy the ship.
- slashdev 2y agoI disagree that things you assert would be true, but even if you lose money doing it, you should do it. The point is not to recover losses, although ideally it would help. The point is to have severe financial consequences so it stops happening.
