British ships banned from docking in Buenos Aires

[AtW]

" The legislature of Buenos Aires province voted to prohibit vessels sailing under the British flag from “mooring, loading or carrying out logistical operations” in any of its ports.

The bill was brought forward by Patricia Cubría, a deputy belonging to President Cristina Kirchner’s Front for Victory coalition.

It was nicknamed ‘Gaucho Rivero’ after Antonio Rivero, nicknamed the ‘Gaucho’, an Argentine cowboy who led an uprising in the Falkland Islands against the British in 1833.

“He fought so that the Argentine flag could fly in the Falklands,” Ms Cubría said.

The law is designed to hinder British ships involved in oil exploration in waters belonging to the islands and will be seen as the latest in a series of provocations in the run up to the 30th anniversary of the Falklands War. "

Old news.



There is a tester working on some of my stuff that worked on cruise ships before he started his IT career. The ships that he worked on stopped at Port Stanley.

I couldn't understand why, on a long cruise that has a choice between stopping in Buenos Aries or Port Stanley, the cruise ship would stop at Port Stanley.

He told me that the old Poms that do the cruise would prefer to visit the Falkland Islands.

The fact it mentions "the run up to the 30th anniversary" might have led you to realise its old news!

Perfect timing. Our troops can seamlessly move from the war in Afghanistan over to Argentina for the next fight.

I thought it was just vessels with the Falkland's flag.

Rather pathetic.

Not old news, it's new news.

Falklands ships had previously been banned not British ships. Not they've banned British ships as well. How long before thats expanded up the coast in the other countries friendly with Argentina.

Matey hasn't been in the cruising business for a few years now, but when he was it definite that the ship couldn't visit both the Falkland Islands and Argentina, it had to pick one or the other.

Read the article. It mentions P&O cruises. But this is a blanket ban.
