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.
Crewmen, except the Master, is hired by third party agencies. MSC or the bank is not liable for their actions. Even if the Master was involved, he acted contrary to company policies which shields the owners.
