in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Subchapters I through III and this subchapter usually do not apply to a foreign vessel that is not heading to or leaving a U.S. port. This exception covers a vessel passing peacefully through U.S. territorial waters, or transiting through U.S. waters that form part of an international strait. A treaty or agreement can override this exception.

Unless a treaty, convention, or agreement that the United States has joined says otherwise, subchapters I through III and this subchapter do not apply to a foreign vessel if that vessel is not heading to, or leaving from, a U.S. port or place, and the vessel is either: (1) passing peacefully through the U.S. territorial sea ("innocent passage"); or (2) transiting through U.S. navigable waters that are part of an international strait.
