MCP network restrict?

Hi, I work on a UK ferry that has its own mobile Internet network that passengers can use (MCP). This network turns on automatically when leaving port and costs a astronomical amount of of money to use, sometimes I leave my mobile data on in error and get hit with charges. My question... Is there a app or something in settings that can stop or restrict a certain mobile network so your phone will never use it?

Can't you turn off mobile roaming under data settings? That should prevent your phone from connecting to carriers other than your own.
 
Yes I can, but as I said I leave it on in error sometimes and get hit
Oops, I misunderstood. Anyway, that may be something you could tackle with tasker. I'm not a user, but I understand the principles of how it works. I think it would be able to turn off data when you are on the ferry using location. I'll ping @Thom who knows a lot about the app.
