What is a flag of convenience, or FOC?

A flag under which there needs to be no genuine link between the flag State and the beneficial ownership of the vessel (i. e. where the ship’s earnings go).

What do you think?

Who decides which registers are to be called flags of convenience, or FOCs?

Why do many ship owners and operators flag out to non-national registers?
