Lloyd's Register throughout the war years shows no change in flag, ownership or port of registration. Seized vessels were usually registered in Panama. Torrens and some other Norwegian vessels apparently retained their national registry and ownership via the Norwegian Government in Exile. Contrast Lloyd's Register 1941-42 for the seized Danish ship that operated as USAT Sicilien where the Danish owner and registry is stricken.
