STT charter boat just fined $20,000 for illegal entry,
So are you suggesting the BVI is preventing the every day illegal traffic to and from STT by busting a charter boat? Come on....
I doubt all the traffic is being stopped but a good number is. Having a heavy armed HMS Medway in the territory is a significant deterrent. Having heard about a shortage of some "supplies" on island is an indicator the traffic is at least significantly reduced.
