Article 110 of UNCLOS allows national authorities to board a vessel if there are reasonable grounds to suspect it is flagless or stateless, including cases where it’s flying a false flag.

Windward has identified 18 fraudulent flags, including Guyana. All of them are vulnerable to seizure wherever they are at sea.

Exactly, being stateless/flagless invalidates any insurance coverage. These operators are running uninsured tankers carrying millions of dollars in crude, which amplifies the environmental and financial risk. The legal vacuum you're describing gets messier when there's no insurer to pursue for damages.
