Fake flag investigation prompts IMO data review

  • IMO reviewing member state data after fraudulent registries are found to have been included as official contact points for governments
  • Attempts to strengthen data security comes amid a multi-year overhaul of IMO data yet to get underway
  • IMO data shows over 200% increase in falsely flagged ships since 2023, but regulatory response has been slow to find a solution

  • Analysis

The IMO’s data on falsely flagged ships registered to fraudulent registries is dramatically underestimating the scale of the problem, but much of the data that would allow verification is missing, incomplete, or linked directly to the fraudulent operations
