Japan may patrol straits for North Korean freighters
Destroyers and P-3C patrol aircraft to the Tsushima Strait
Japan plans to inspect cargo to and from North Korea in two sea-lanes close to its territory, in line with UN Security Council sanctions imposed after Pyongyang's nuclear test.

Between January and September, North Korean ships made 578 port calls at Japanese ports. here The Tsushima Strait lies between South Korea and Japan's western coast. Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force would provide information to the United States and other foreign forces deployed in the area if it spots a suspicious ship. here
