An experienced San Francisco admiralty lawyer, said: ships and their owners and operators sometimes cloak themselves with dizzying layers of paperwork "to avoid liability. If you can't find who owns it," it is more difficult to file a lawsuit.
The ship is owned by Regal Stone Ltd. of Hong Kong, managed by Fleet Management Ltd. of Hong Kong, and its crew and technical support are provided by Synergy Management Services.
The Cosco Busan（船名）, built in South Korea in 2001.
Finding the owner of the ship - or finding who, if anyone, is liable - can be so difficult that sometimes it's "hard to get jurisdiction over the actual owner or even figure out who they are," the admiralty lawyer said.
The only solution, ultimately, may be to go after the ship.
"If (the state) has incurred a $3 million damage," the lawyer said, "then they can arrest the ship. ... Then a U.S. marshal stops the ship and keeps it here, requiring the ship itself to pay for damages, which means they can seize it and sell it."
 谢谢明珠的提示，又查了几个大新闻网，还真是众说纷纭，
最多的都是说污染有多严重，只有这篇是律师说说谁来承担责任，
节了这几段仅供参考吧。
