While the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC) expressly allocates jurisdiction in regard to several activities that are conducted in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ), it does not do so for bunkering and ship-to-ship (STS) oil transfers. This article sheds light on different types of bunkering operations, as well as on the often-overlooked practice of STS oil transfers. It suggests that in the case of bunkering, the allocation of jurisdiction as between coastal and flag states depends on the activity of the vessel being bunkered. In the case of STS oil transfers, it concludes that jurisdictional competence needs to be determined in line with Article 59 of the LOSC. The article also examines relevant state practice and contends that the LOSC’s ambiguity is no license to unfettered coastal state regulation.

尽管《联合国海洋法公约》（LOSC）明确分配了在专属经济区（EEZ）中进行的若干活动的管辖权，但对于加油和船对船（STS）却没有这样做石油转移。本文阐明了不同类型的加油操作，以及经常被忽视的STS输油实践。它表明在加油的情况下，沿海国与船旗国之间的管辖权分配取决于被加油船的活动。对于STS石油转让，它得出的结论是，需要根据LOSC第59条确定管辖权。本文还研究了相关的国家实践，并认为LOSC的模棱两可并不意味着不受约束的沿海国家监管。
