Offshore: HavenCo chief executive Sean Hastings Immigration officials at Heathrow turned away a HavenCo engineer, Andrew Marsh, who arrived from the United States last Friday, but the company insists that he will start work tomorrow morning. HavenCo said the company's schedule was not seriously affected by the setback. "Andrew will start work in Sealand on Friday morning, but I'd rather not discuss how he will get here," a spokesman said. Mr Marsh, a 25-year-old computer systems engineer employed by HavenCo, was stopped and questioned by immigration officers at the airport. He announced that he was going to work on Sealand, the offshore Second World War fortress, which claims to be independent of the UK. Mr Marsh assumed that he would not need a British work permit to go to Sealand, but a spokesman for the Home Office said: "We consider Sealand to be part of the UK and therefore anyone working there who is not a citizen of a European Union country would require a work permit." The HavenCo spokesman said the action was "ridiculous". He hinted that HavenCo would begin to ferry its staff from other countries bordering the North Sea. He said: "If Britain starts playing games, we'll find other ways of getting people to Sealand." 8 June 2000: News Bytes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ � Copyright Telegraph Group Limited 2000.
