Mongolia may be landlocked and have no navy, but if it permits foreign ships to be registered under its flag that's obviously what the agreement is about. It's reminiscent of the oil tankers that used to be (still are?) registered to Liberia. If Mongolian registration is the new haven for those who want to evade inspection and regulation, this agreement makes sense.
