 Flag of Convenience The Baltimore Bridge incident, raises a major concern for me; it not a new concern, but one I have had for many years. What is the concern? My concern is the competence of the captain of the ship; especially  with the growing number of ships sailing under the  f lag of convenience  to get around shipping regulations of the country the ship is registered to. Many of the crews come from Asia , and have little, if any knowledge of English.
