The allowed values for this code list comprise only the values specified in the table below.

Values for the code list BaselineSegmentTypeValue U.K.
Value Name Definition
normal normal The normal baseline for measuring the breadth of the territorial sea is the low-water line along the coast as marked on large-scale charts officially recognized by the coastal State.
straight straight The baseline for measuring the breadth of the territorial sea is the straight baseline established by joining the appropriate points.
archipelagic archipelagic The baseline for measuring the breadth of the territorial sea is the straight baseline joining the outermost points of the outermost islands and drying reefs of the archipelago.
4.3.3.2. Maritime Zone Type (MaritimeZoneTypeValue) U.K.

Type of martime zone.

The allowed values for this code list comprise only the values specified in the table below.

Values for the code list MaritimeZoneTypeValue U.K.
Value Name Definition
internalWaters Internal Waters The waters on the landward side of the baselines of the territorial sea of the coastal State.
territorialSea Territorial Sea A belt of sea of a defined breadth not exceeding 12 nautical miles measured from the baselines determined in accordance to the United Nations Convention of Law on the Sea.
contiguousZone Contiguous Zone A zone contiguous to a territorial sea of a coastal State, which may not extend beyond 24 nautical miles from the baselines from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured.
exclusiveEconomicZone Exclusive Economic Zone An area beyond and adjacent to the territorial sea of a coastal State, subject to the specific legal regime under which the rights and jurisdiction of the coastal State and the rights and freedoms of other States are governed by the relevant provisions of the United Nations Convention on Law of the Sea.
continentalShelf Continental Shelf A maritime zone beyond and adjacent to the a territorial sea of a coastal State whose outer boundary is determined in accordance with Article 76 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.]
