The trial judge properly accepted the uncontradicted expert and police evidence that the ship's doors and escape routes were rendered effectively unusable to outside rescuers, thereby endangering persons aboard; the Director of Marine's written direction was lawfully made on reasonable safety grounds and met necessity and proportionality tests; claimed motives or protest purposes did not negate criminal liability or render the administrative restriction unconstitutional. Accordingly convictions and sentence were upheld.
