    Default Space X versis royal Caribbean

    I think that previously it has been mentioned that during rocket launchs from cape Canaveral, exclusion zones are established that prevents shipping sailing through those zones for safety reasons but it seems that either royal Caribbean didn't get the message or perhaps they just wanted to give the passengers a good view of a rocket launch.

    Nearly every country uses exclusion zones for different reasons . The UK in particular has exclusion zones all over the North Sea, together with all the other countries bordering the same. This is mainly for safety reasons. Every rig and platform or installation had a 2 or 3 mile exclusion zone around it , the excuse at one time if one was needed that unlit anchor buoys were about at that radius and were big enough to damage a ship or even sink a small vessel . The legalities of this I haven’t a clue as more than likely they were outside the jurisdiction of the country putting these restriction on. One would have to ask a lawyer well versed in maritime law. Take the island the Chinese have built in the South China Sea , before people take umbrage and start shouting freedom of the seas that the media push out , consider the 2 cases in depth before imaginations start working overtime . I don’t condole the building of a man made Island , and am sure it has been done a few times before. But legally what is the answer ? JS

    Hi John.
    The Saudis, Pacific Islands to name two have built Islands at sea albeit not to far out from their coast.

    I like the Chinese extending their grab of the South China Sea by building islands and airstrips, then placing restrictions on maritime movements around them. How legal is that??
