I suspect the name may just be to confuse anyone trying to look into it. "By and Large" returns over 250 million results in Google. Anyone looking to find permits, job postings, or random government filings would need to dig through tons of unrelated cruft.
This is done pretty often for shell companies, they will have names like "Twisting River" or just "Investment Vehicle VII, LLC"
If you want to throw people off the beaten path (and you have google's money) it would be trivial to acquire a small company or even create one from scratch that actually does something, anything rather than give a name which is sure to scream "shell company" and get people's sniffers out.
They could have probably found a way to take even the name that was similar to an overseas company that has a connection to shipping, maritime etc. and simply do a variation of that (and make it in a way that doesn't infringe any trademarks).
That way all the pain in the ass bystanders would simply jump quickly to the obvious wrong conclusion and move to something else.
My point being is that if you are truly trying to hide something then at least put some effort into creating a good distraction.
