Also included was Decree 256 of the Argentine government that states that any vessel wishing to travel between a location in Argentine continental territory and ports on the Islas Malvinas, South Georgia or South Sandwich Islands, to cross Argentine jurisdictional waters on the way there or carry merchandise directly or indirectly between those locations must seek previous authorization.
