Which type of ships would typically be associated with a Closed Registry?

Closed Registry refers to a system of ship registration where only vessels owned by citizens of the country maintaining the registry, or by entities under its jurisdiction, can be registered. This means that the ownership is limited to individuals or companies that have legal ties to that country. Therefore, ships that are associated with a Closed Registry are those owned exclusively by citizens of that state. This type of registration is designed to ensure that a nation has control over its maritime fleet and can enforce its laws and regulations.

The other options typically describe scenarios that would be more aligned with Open Registries or flags of convenience, where ownership, construction, or crew nationality are less restrictive. Ships owned by international corporations, for instance, might operate under Open Registries to take advantage of more favorable regulatory and tax regimes. Similarly, ships built in foreign countries or operated with non-national labor would also be less likely to fall under a Closed Registry system, as such arrangements often indicate a more global approach to maritime operations.
