Reading Part 5:

One of the more outrageous cases came to light in October 1989. A general cargo ship named the Bosun set

sail from Hamburg under the flag of the small central American state of Belize. West German police

arrested and charged two men, the ship's British master and its German owner. They were charged with

flying a false flag, and forgery of Belize government documents. A police officer said: "Belize was not the

latest entrant in the cheap flag stakes; they in fact operate no shipping whatsoever. When we contacted the

Belize High Commission in London, they were astonished to learn that a ship was pretending to be

registered in their country."

Q: The Belize High commission was surprised to have a ship registered in the country because

• it is a land-locked country, like Switzerland

• no ships operate under the Belize flag

• it was the first time forged Belize documents had been used
