The strategic significance of the Malacca Strait / by R.G. Boyd.: D68-13/4-1977E-PDF

"The Malacca Strait has strategic significance with reference to the movement of cargo ships and naval vessels between the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean. The Strait will be within the territorial waters of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, if a twelve mile territorial sea limit becomes part of the internationally accespted body of Ocean Law. Efforts by the coastal states to assert jurisdiction will affect Japanese commerce with Western Europe and the Middle East, and the transit of US and Soviet naval vessels from the Pacific into the Indian Ocean"--Abstract, page i.
