Ships are flagged where it's cheap to run a ship, not necessarily ships affiliated with that nation.

I thought so at first. But I speak a language close to Bengalese, the Ship has a Bangladeshi name. "Banglar Samriddhi" Translated: "Prosperity of the Bengalese people". Weird choice for a Flag of convenience, if the ship had nothing to do with Bangladesh.

Many ships use random countries like Sierra Leone or Marshall Islands. It"s a tax and low paperwork thing.
