Saltwater Vessel Resko & Puna

[RonO]

The ocean vessel traffic has always made following them an interesting hobby. Numerous ships have their flags and home port of registration changed because of ownership, national taxes and flags of convenience. Most ships including the FedNav vessels are not registered in the country their business owners are located from. Majuro port in the Marshall Islands is the latest. Must be very good deals versus Canadian registry.

The Seaway's website doesn't have any bearing whatsoever on the operations of these vessels nor is it an official government registry.

I tend to disagree on that. Just my thoughts and also my opinions only.

The Seaway’s website has no real bearing on anything.

Noticed that today, June 29 the Saltwater Vessel Resko entered the Seaway with their AIS destination for Hamilton. No major surprises there however, on the Seaway’s website they are showing them as being Bahamas flagged and registered when in fact this is NOT true whatsoever! Last year in 2023, the Resko I believe made two Inland voyages and visits to our shores? The first trip she made, they were Bahamas flag and registry but later on then in 2023 they made a second Inland voyage only this time they changed their registration and flag from Bahamas to Malta! Just check the Vessel Tracking websites to see then for yourself as you should see that they are now Malta flag and registered and are no longer registered or flagged from Bahamas. Apparently, the Seaway has not yet noticed or seen this change thus maybe why they still have her under Bahamas flag. The same can be said and hold true on the Saltwater Vessel Puna! They were originally Liberian flag and also was registered from there as well. Then in May 2024 I guess it was, the Puna then changed to Cyprus flag and registry but again the Seaway has yet to recognize this change thus they still have her under Liberian registry. Even the Ship Photos website so far I noticed hasn’t yet noticed these changes so far. Just trying to help is all and keep you all updated here.
