This ship is not for transporting anything. It is a factory. It will be anchored at sea, pay no taxes, be under no nations pollution or labor laws or ethics codes. The plan calls for it to be anchored just out of Australian waters, it will be a refinery of petroleum products, visited by ships feeding it carbon.
Industrial pirates, no laws apply, anything goes. Good luck great barrier reef.
Every kind of pirate out there hiding out there are licking their chops right about now. The first sign of trouble and Shell will be begging for SOMEONE to protect them
ReplyDeleteI bet the 1% in their seaside mansions and condos that raise hell they don't want to look at wind turbines will shit when they see one of these on smoking away on the horizon. Just one more reason for all of us to push to use less oil and natural gas.
DeleteOh yea and the protection thing. The US will be there in a second, wars for oil, wars for corporate protection, insures many industries a profit.
DeleteGives "off-shoring" a whole new game plan. But, don't all countries have a 200 mile territorial limit? Or is that 12?

It's 12, but there is a provision that in some areas it can be extended up to a maximum 200, it is complex to do with continental shelf and undersea geography.
DeleteSo, Romney buys a liner from Holiday Cruise Lines and parks it 13 miles off Boston and this is the new offices of Capital where no taxes and no rules apply? Shit! Buy a newly decommissiioned Wasp class carrier and park it off shore.
ReplyDeleteMe thinks We The People need to talk to Germany about those Dolphin class subs they are selling to the Jews and the pharoh want-a-bees?
