Exclusive economic zone around Okinotorishima Chinese marine research vessel is conducting activity survey July 14 at 14:28
On the morning of the 9th, it was confirmed that a marine research vessel in China is conducting an activity that seems to be research without prior consent in the exclusive economic zone around Okinotorishima, the southernmost point of Japan, and the Japan Coast Guard I am using this to ask for a cancellation and continue to be vigilant.
According to the 3rd Regional Coast Guard Headquarters, at about 10:40 am on the 9th, in the exclusive economic zone of Japan about 310 km north-northwest of Okinotorishima, the Chinese oceanographic research vessel "Ocean" is from around the stern. It is said that a patrol vessel on the alert discovered that a wire-like object was stretched out into the sea and was carrying out activities that seemed to be an investigation.
The UN Convention stipulates that prior consent will be obtained from the partner country when conducting research activities in the exclusive economic zones of other countries. Asked to cancel using the wireless or electronic bulletin board.
The Japan Coast Guard continues to warn that the marine research vessel remains on the scene at noon.
It was confirmed in December of last year that the offshore research vessels of China were carrying out similar activities around Okinotorishima.
