After that, the ship changed hands, and was owned by Naviera until September 1996. The Emerald has been owned by Chariot since June 1992. The Venus and the Emerald share another past common owner, Point Pedro Shipping Inc, which is registered at a box number in Panama City. Records indicate that Vikram may have owned Point Pedro while the latter company was the registered owner to the Venus and the Emerald. It also owned Miramar Shipping before that company was controlled by Sea Freighters.
Many questions remain to be answered.
