A ship owned by JP Morgan leased to a Switzerland-based shipping company operating under the Liberia flag. Now that's a story.

Most ships are like that. They fly a flag of convenience and whatever gets them a cheaper port bill.

JP Morgan doesn't directly own the ship. Just about every cargo ship is it's own company which is a member of a holding company. If the ship was actually seized by the Gov't, JP Morgan is detached from liability. I suspect the ship was only detained. As of nine minutes ago, 2020-03-21 02:04 UTC, ship is in port Callao, Peru.
