【Alaska EEZ US Voyage vs. Innocent Passage】

If the ship's destination or destination is a U.S. port when it passes through the Alaska EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) on a grand voyage in the North Pacific, an agreement with OSRO(Oil Spill Response Organizations) is required for an oil contamination incident during the passage of the Alaska EEZ.OSRO contracts cost a certain amount of money.

If the ship's departure or destination is not a U.S. port, the contract with OSRO as an Innocent Passage becomes unnecessary.

* The Innocent Passage is an international maritime law concept that allows ships to pass through islands or territorial waters in other countries, but the Innocent Passage of the Alaska EEZ is obligated to report in advance under USCG rules.
