Falsified flag certificates in circulation
The ‘Nautical Inquisition’ revealed a forged flag certificate, one of the apparently hundreds.



The authorities in the Netherlands and Spain are investigating the falsification of Dutch ICP’s (flag certificates). A not so very smart forger issued flag certificates and sold them for a ridiculous amount of money.


The observations which led to the determination they had uncovered a falsified ICP were :


  • the document was plasticised
  • the ICP was issued by an organisation that no longer issues ICP’s
  • on closer inspection with a magnifying glass it was obvious the document was printed with the help of an ordinary laser printer
