Apparently US officials are saying it is a Maersk line vessel and not one of ours.
Currently I’m cynical enough to not believe it without verification.

Accused of ‘trespassing’ in territorial waters
I have a nephew who is Maritime Academy grad and a 3rd Mate for Maersk. Home country or flag registry does not mean much. They haul for the U.S. military. So I would assume there may be some U.S. citizen officers, if not some crew members. The good news for us is that the nephew is between assignments and is at home right now. The bad news is that his current home is in Baltimore. :-)
