Who owns the Kendry? (LST Spoilers)

[Lady Persephone]

Okay, as I have gone back to re-read the parts from Assassin's Fate that continue from the LST(having recently completed that trilogy) a lot more connects and makes sense, or rather jumps out at me, now I have a well-rounded knowledge of characters and events that take place in all trilogies, especially LST.  I can now answer this question!  There are soooo many other things mentioned in threads that I can now connect the dots to having full knowledge, for the most part, and there's so many I want to return to when I have time and expand on, but that will have to wait until another time.  For now, I want to answer this question.  Who owns the Kendry?

From Chapter 27 of AF, "Feather to Blade": Captain Osfor.  

To Merchants Clifton, Anrosen and Bellidy,
With our greatest apologies, we are unable to fulfil the terms of our contract with you.  Our liveship, Kendry, has become unmanageable, and a threat to not only his own captain and crew but to other vessels we encounter.  He has twice deliberately taken on water to spoil cargo.  He fights the rudder and lists at will.
For the safety and security of our crew, and of your cargoes, we therefore must terminate our agreement.  You have the right to bring suit against us for this breach.  However, if you are willing, we have made arrangements with the liveship Ophelia, owned and managed by the Tenira (aside from me:  Good ole' Ophelia!   ) a fine Bingtown Trader family with a long history of reliable dealings.  At no additional cost to you, they will take over our contracts and fulfil them.  
We hope you will agree that this is the most equitable arrangement for all of us.
With the utmost respect,
Captain Osfor of the liveship Kendry

Poor Osfor family!  But not to worry, Kendry will become a dragon soon enough and all shall be well with the world.  I'm thinking they could all use acid-proof their hulls with that magical impenetrable stuff we see in the RWC at the end that the ships from Jamaillia figured out to coat their ships with so they could go up the Rain Wilds River.
