HHX.blue contributed to a European Commission-commissioned study providing an up-to-date economic and policy analysis of flag State responsibilities and the use of “open registers” for vessel registration. The report compares open registers with national registries and assesses implications for maritime governance, economic dynamics, and EU strategic priorities in international ocean policy. It supports evidence-based decision-making on transparency, regulation, and economic effects in the maritime sector.
