Australia claims 1,000 nautical mile security zone

Article Abstract:

Australia has disclosed that from March 2005 onwards it will be claiming 1,000 nautical mile (nm) maritime security zones from its shores, which has upset its neighbors amid concerns violating their sovereignty and breaching international law. The vessels destined to Australian ports will be required to provide their full information on the ship's identity, crew, cargo manifest, location, course, speed, intended route, port of arrival and schedule after the setting up of the Australian Maritime Identification Zone of up to 1000 nm.
