    Okay, I guess to take this claim seriously, the idea is that they’re worried countries will try and use the McDonald islands as a port to engage in malicious transshipment (shipping from port to port, sometimes to avoid import tax and other shipping regulations).

    But, wouldn’t the island need a port and a processing authority (ie a government) to be used for that?
