No legally verified claim to ownership has been received. Prior to it breaking in two the salvage value of the vessel given its age and condition was described as negligible. MV Alta was built in 1976 and operated in Europe, Asia and Africa before it was consigned to more risky waters. It was the focus of an attempted hijacking off Africa and another reported attack by pirates off Guyana in South America.
