Aside from the fact that this is an extremely obvious scam, the US, which the people supposedly behind this venture call out specifically, is not a party to UNCLOS. e: Also from their own website they claim to have 3 offices situated in the US. This is like the logical conclusion of those sovereign citizen guys who rant to the judge about Admiralty Law and having no jurisdiction because the flag has gold fringe.

  >> the US, which the people supposedly behind this venture call out specifically, is not a party to UNCLOS. > The US recognizes unclos as customary sea law despite not having ratified it I'm guessing here that means the US doesn't enforce the law. US Gov vessels would abide by it but private vessels can do what they please. Correct?

    it accepts all but one part of the law as customary international law when it comes to nautical disputes, which should mean it applies to all sorts of vessels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_and_the_United_Nations_Convention_on_the_Law_of_the_Sea# https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_and_the_United_N...

    > I'm guessing here that means the US doesn't enforce the law. No, it means the US (but for the one bit it disagrees with) treats the Convention as redundant with international law that exists without need of a formal treaty, and enforces it on that basis.
