Ships, Sailing, Maritime / Merchant shipping/ferry court case
Italian term or phrase: autorita di bandiera
This phrase is used when a witness is being questioned about how a ferry line he worked was managed and how it functioned.

The full Question and Answer phrases are:

Q: "A quale forma di sistema di sicurezza agisce il suo ruolo?"
A: "Fa riferimento al ruolo equipaggio approvato dalle autorita di bandiera"

I know that this is a reference being made to the flag of convenience type thing.

My own translation is : "governing flag"

However, I could not find this being used anywhere on the net and wonder if there is a more common term I could use to describe this.
