How to lose your best client – Maltese Falcon

January 21st, 2009

I have read on  SYNFO that the superyacht Maltese Falcon changes his home port from Georgetown in Cayman Islands to la Valetta, in Malta, so the new flag displayed will also be Malta’s flag.

It would seem that the driving force behind this flag change was the inability or unwillingness of the Cayman Islands to accept the new submarine installed on the yacht.

The Register will only accept and certify old steel pressure hulls submarines, and not the modern one made  of composites.

Let’s see how long it takes to Cayman authorities to say that they do cannot change their laws beacuse of the fussiness of a mega-yacht owner.
