MF changes registry...

The "Maltese Falcon" has been re-flagged. She is now hailing from Valletta, Malta, afterall she is called the Maltese Falcon! So she has left the Georgetown C.I registry. Why? According to the yacht's website, the Georgetown C.I registry would not let them keep the new submarine and be flagged there as well.
"...but the switch was participated by the inability (and unwillingness) of the Cayman Island Shipping Register to accept our new submarine. CISR will only certify subs with steel pressure hulls. Malta was ready to accept hulls made and tested from modern composites."
