What does REFLAG mean in Scrabble?
verb
technical
To change the country in which a ship is officially registered, so that it sails under a different national flag.
Shipowners reflag vessels to take advantage of lower taxes, cheaper crews or looser safety rules in another country. During wars and political crises, governments have also encouraged the practice so that merchant ships could be placed under the protection of a friendly navy. A ship that has been reflagged keeps its hull and crew arrangements but takes on the laws and inspections of its new flag state.
