He is either Googling or making some new cushionsIt's gone quiet.
Attempting to pushback or turn around migrants in French territorial waters contravenes maritime law.I think they are enjoying the show. I know I am.
Remind us what the MCA regulation is?
I've never heard of it.
It doesn't matter whether it's a ship, a jet ski, a pedalo
It is stated in UNCLOS 18 and 19
Poor Motorbiking is wrong

Oh god he has refreshed his page
British vessels can't enter French waters to engage in pushbacks
Conditions for Innocent Passage
- While the right to innocent passage is a recognized principle, it is subject to certain conditions.
- Article 18 of UNCLOS stipulates that passage must be continuous and expeditious.
- This means that vessels should not linger unnecessarily in the territorial sea and must not engage in activities that could be deemed as stopping or anchoring without justification

Again Notch, what is this MCA regulation you are referring to?
I've never heard of it

Poor Motorbiking knows nothing about the agency responsible for ensuring compliance.Again Notch, what is this MCA regulation you are referring to?

Posting irrelevant .gov legislation links isn’t gonna help you.good googling. Shame you got it wrong... again.
The Merchant Shipping (Watercraft) Order 2023
The Merchant Shipping Act 1995 (c. 21) regulates, and confers powers to regulate, United Kingdom ships and ships in United Kingdom waters. The Harbours Act 1964 (c. 40) provides, among other things, for designated harbour authorities to give directions in respect of ships. The Railways and...www.legislation.gov.uk
Pathetic grift from Motorbiking
First you claim pushbacks are legal, then when you lose that argument you claim “stopping them gettin into British waters” is the new argument, then when that gets proven wrong, you now switch to claim “it’s ok, it’s using jet skis.”
Just admit you are wrong.
Just tell us what this MCA regulation is - you've got us all interested in it now. Put your repeat repeat change the subject pushback posts on hold and explain this MCA regulation that you refer to and tell us how it is relevant.
I think it was actually just a typo. MBK provided a link to the Merchant Shipping Act (MSA). Notch wrote MCA. It doesn't seem like a big deal.

Pretty obvious, but give them an inch and they'll take a mile.
Mottie, thank you for pointing out the fact it is Motorbiking who is so desperate to deflect.
Hey Mottie have grown a pair yet and are finally able to tell us why you support Reform……
Come on stop being a coward, let’s here you stand up for what you support
Told ya plenty o' times already. If you’re too fick to remember, that’s not my problem.
You have not stated any Reform policy that you like, nothing at all.
Come on what are the main Reform policies that make you want to vote for them.

Actually I posted an amendment which extended some of the requirements of the merchant shipping act to personal powered water craft.
A jet ski is a PWC, it is not a ship or small ship in every regard.
It’s relevant because only some of the obligations apply. I don’t believe it was coincidental that jet skis were chosen and that’s without getting in to the specifics of the Dover straight and the treaty regarding the territorial limit, since the gap is less than 24nm.
Of course it’s irrelevant were the limit is given the rights of the coastal state to prevent non-innocent passage.
