possible in the UK under maritime law because the ship was not registered in the UK and it had been outside territorial waters. The UK Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 might have had jurisdiction because the fishing boat was UK-registered although Singapore, the country of registration of Alam Pintar, may also have had jurisdiction. Singapore is not regarded as a flag of convenience country. Although the United Nations Convention for Registration of Ships attempted to require a vessel's owners have a "genuine link" with the country of registration, the convention has never been ratified. The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore conducted a marine safety investigation which found that the OOW had not ensured the bridge was properly manned and had not taken sufficient action to avoid the collision. The Authority said "appropriate enforcement actions" would be taken against the officer. The ship's operators, Malaysian Bulk Carriers, said two crew members had been suspended pending the findings of the Singapore enquiry—Chris Wadsworth's family's claim for compensation would be met in full. However, the Port Authority "failed to uncover any malfeasance by the master of the Alam Pintar" and so did not take legal action. The incident was later highlighted in Rose George's 2013 book on merchant shipping. Notes References Citations Sources Alam Pintar December 2009 events in Europe
