Today, the emergence of flags of convenience, double-flagging, flagging out, and the increasing insistence in many international conventions on a "genuine link" between the flag and the ship, have reduced the importance of the law of the flag to merely one contact, or connecting factor, among others in maritime conflicts of law.
