Entirely ships owned by the International Industries company are flagged in the Bahamas and Liberia. The flag of convenience rules have both public as well as private implications. Private law comes into play in the employer-employee passenger contract and cargo contract duties of the ship. Public law likewise interfaces with these rules in that ships as well as companies pick as well as choose flags on convenience for individual ships based upon liability concerns such as negligence, contractual, labour, customs, immigration and or environmental laws.
